The investment will support the commercial expansion of Vivent\u2019s plant biosignal monitoring platform, which provides real-time crop diagnostics by interpreting electrical signals emitted by plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vivent is the first company to commercialize real-time plant electrophysiology for crop health monitoring. Its technology uses AI to detect stress caused by pests, disease, drought or nutrient imbalance well before visible symptoms appear. With more than 1,000 hectares now monitored across Europe, Vivent\u2019s platform is used both in field crops and in controlled environments such as greenhouses and indoor farms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company collaborates with growers, agricultural distributors, lighting specialists and crop protection providers to evaluate plant responses to interventions in real time. Plant breeders also use Vivent\u2019s datasets to identify resilient varieties and accelerate the development of hardier crops suited to changing conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Driving expansion in field and controlled-environment agriculture<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For Vivent, the new investment marks an important step in scaling its technology across Europe and North America. The company has built what it describes as the world\u2019s largest dataset of plant biosignals, enabling agronomic insights that support yield stability and more efficient use of inputs. In the announcement, Co-founder Carrol Plummer highlighted the strategic value of Agri Investment Fund\u2019s involvement, while Co-founder Dr Nigel Wallbridge emphasized the potential of AI to enhance sustainable crop management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Patrik Haesen, CEO of Agri Investment Fund, noted the platform\u2019s potential to strengthen both farm profitability and environmental sustainability by supporting plant-led decision-making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vivent is part of <a href=\"https:\/\/ggba.swiss\/en\/key-industries\/agtech-food-nutrition\/food-nutrition\/\">Western Switzerland\u2019s dynamic food and nutrition ecosystem<\/a>, which includes more than 160 foodtech and agritech start-ups. The region offers proximity to research institutions, specialized infrastructure and an active innovation network that supports companies developing new solutions for sustainable agriculture and food systems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vivent Biosignals has raised EUR 7.5 million to expand the commercial deployment of its digital crop diagnostics
