🚜🌾👨🌾 From the start, we were impressed by the vision of Matteo Vanotti, a “farmer turned founder.” His firsthand experience gave him a deep understanding of the challenges he aimed to solve when he established xFarm Technologies with Salvatore Ferullo and Martino Poretti. 🌽 As their first institutional investor in 2019, we supported their early growth. Since then, xFarm has achieved several milestones, including the 2021 merger with Farm Technologies, bringing Matteo Cunial and his team on board, a €17 million Series B funding round in 2022, and the recent integrations of Greenfield Technologies (Spain) and SpaceSense (France), solidifying their European leadership in digital farming. 🌻 What a journey! Today, we celebrate another important achievement: a €36 million Series C funding round led by Partech's Impact Growth Fund, with participation from Mouro Capital, existing investors Swisscom Ventures, United Ventures, and more. This investment validates the company's continued success and commitment to sustainable #agriculture. ☀️ We're proud to have been part of xFarm Technologies' story from the beginning, and we're confident this investment will enable them to maintain their leadership in building a more efficient global agri-food system. We look forward to continuing our work with Matteo Vanotti, Matteo Cunial, and all the new and existing investors ✨ Learn more in our latest blog post 👉 link in comments cc Giulia Giovannini, Massimiliano Magrini, Giuseppe Manzione, Nicolò Barbano, Riccardo De Nadai, Rémi Said, Arnaud Minvielle, Alexander Schlaepfer, Francesco Pasti #tech #funding #VC #investment #startup #technology #innovation

⚛️ On the frontiers of innovation, #quantum computing stands out as a transformative technology with the potential to reshape industries and our future. By defying the limitations of conventional computing, it promises solutions to currently intractable problems in fields ranging from logistics and drug discovery to climate modeling and cryptography. Effective collaboration between academia and industry is crucial to realizing this potential. We look forward to participating in an interdisciplinary roundtable discussion at the Università degli Studi di Pavia on Monday, October 7th, exploring the synergies needed to develop quantum technologies and stimulating a broader discussion that engages universities, corporations, governments, tech companies, and venture investors alike. Organized in collaboration with the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca and the National Quantum Science and Technology Institute (#NQSTI), this roundtable will facilitate the exchange of ideas, identify collaborative opportunities, and outline innovative strategies for the future of quantum research. Our collective goal is to cultivate a dynamic and interconnected quantum ecosystem, driving groundbreaking advancements and accelerating the translation of scientific discoveries into real-world commercial applications. Speakers include Matteo Menotti (Xanadu), Antonio Mezzacapo (IBM Quantum), Elisabetta Paladino (NQSTI), Marco Pistoia (JPMorganChase), Andrea Rocchetto (Ephos), and Jacopo Drudi (United Ventures).

💫 United Ventures is pleased to reaffirm our commitment to D-Orbit, a company we’ve proudly supported since 2021, by participating in their €150 million (US$166 million) Series C funding round. This round attracted strong participation from a diverse group of new and existing investors led by Marubeni Corporation. We are honored to have led a consortium of institutional investors, including the European Investment Bank (EIB) and the European Investment Fund (EIF) Investment Fund, playing a key role in supporting D-Orbit's operational expansion and accelerating their global initiatives. This was one of the goals when establishing our fund #UVTG: to channel investment and support to companies during their #growth phase. This investment stage often represents an underserved area within our ecosystem, and we know how important it is to bridge that gap. 🛰 D-Orbit is a pioneer in sustainable space logistics. Under the leadership of Luca Rossettini and Renato Panesi, the company has consistently demonstrated a clear understanding of industry trends and the strategic vision to establish itself as a competitive leader in the space sector in both commercial and institutional markets. This funding will support D-Orbit's continued development of a circular #space economy, transforming space debris into valuable resources. It will further enable D-Orbit to advance its capabilities in space cloud computing and in-orbit servicing, strengthen collaborations with governments and space agencies, expand its customer base across various sectors and geographies, and pursue strategic acquisitions to enhance its product offerings. This represents an incredible milestone for the growth of the Italian space industry, fostering innovation and contributing to Europe's secure and sustainable connectivity goals. Congratulations to Luca, Renato, and the entire D-Orbit team! cc Damiano Coletti Fabio Pirovano Massimiliano Magrini Paolo Gesess Giada Pellegrin, CFA Ghislain Terrier Patrizia Tammaro Silva #newspaceeconomy #UVportfolio

📅 Save the date for September 12th in Cagliari, the next stop of PowerUp!, Qonto's initiative dedicated to supporting the Italian #innovation ecosystem. This roadshow tours Italy, involving local communities through meetings, workshops, and other networking activities, and is dedicated to pre-seed and post-seed startups. As part of the founder/investor chats, after the successful event in Milan featuring Matteo Moscarelli in conversation with Andrea Chirolli of Futura, this time PowerUp will feature a fireside chat between our Fabio Pirovano and Walter Ambu, CEO and founder of our portfolio company Entando Inc.. They will discuss everything about founder/investor relationships. This is a very interesting format for first-time founders to listen to, as it allows them to get a specific, honest perspective on why and how they should look (or not) for VC funding and debunk some myths around #venturecapital. We will be in a special location, hosted by Mario Mariani in the heart of the Sardinian innovation ecosystem, The Net Value ❤️ Thanks Lorenzo Zatini and Qonto for the invite, we are looking forward to it!

How can we be sure what we see is real in a world flooded with images and videos? 🤯 The rise of deepfakes—AI-generated content nearly indistinguishable from reality—seriously threatens our trust in information. The implications are far-reaching and deeply concerning, from fake news to financial scams. That's why United Ventures invested in IdentifAI - Find Origin -, which today announced a €2.2 million funding round. IdentifAI tackles the deepfake challenge with "de-generative" AI—technology designed to detect AI-generated content in images, videos, and audio through AI models, linguistic analysis, and artistic style identification. This investment aligns perfectly with our thesis of backing initiatives that provide innovative solutions to complex problems, such as mitigating AI's potentially negative impacts. We were inspired by the vision of Marco Ramilli, PhD, the expert technologist and second-time founder who, together with Marco Castaldo, leads IdentifAI’s talented team. IdentifAI - Find Origin - has the potential to drive the global effort to ensure the authenticity and trustworthiness of digital content, ultimately helping us navigate the increasingly complex world of online information.

Shaping the future of public services through technology 🤝✨ #GovTech, using technology to enhance and transform public services, is a critical area of focus for driving efficiency, transparency, and citizen-centric government operations. As the European Union prioritizes digital transformation as a pillar of sustainable #growth, it's great to see portfolio companies like Entando Inc. supporting these initiatives. 🇸🇰 Entando Inc.'s strategic collaboration to support Slovakia's ambitious digital transformation strategy is a fantastic achievement. Their composable architecture platform aligns perfectly with the need for flexibility and scalability in digital solutions for the public sector. Congratulations to Walter Ambu and the Entando Inc. team on this important partnership! #UVportfolio
🤝✨ We are proud to announce that Entando has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Investment, Regional Development, and Informatization (MIRRI) and the National Agency for Networking and Electronic Services (NASES) of the Slovak Republic. We are excited to explore the potential for creating a framework for collaboration, delving into technical discussions, and cooperating on the next steps in building and executing the "Composable Government" in Slovakia. This initiative involves setting up a Government Application Composition Platform. 🚀 This marks the beginning of a promising collaboration in Slovakia's composable government journey.

When we started working on #ESG integration at United Ventures, one of the key questions was how we could effectively support our portfolio companies on their sustainability journeys. Especially those startups and scaleups that: - have limited time and budget for #sustainability but still seek a robust strategy tailored to their needs; - understand some sustainability basics but aim to develop a more impactful and comprehensive strategy, particularly with the upcoming reporting requirements in mind; - want to empower their teams to ensure successful strategy implementation in the coming years. So, a few months ago, with great curiosity, we enrolled in the first cohort of lfca.earth - Community | Leaders for Climate Action's new course, Strategic Sustainability Roadmapping, to see if it could address these needs. We discovered a masterfully designed course with excellent content, peer-learning opportunities, hands-on workshops, and much fun. All credit goes to the amazing course hosts Lucy Bowen, Timo Müller, Lucie Pourquier, Piotr Drozd, and the entire LFCA team. Our portfolio company, Aindo, joined as well. Kudos to Elisa Scandariato for participating and receiving the badge of distinction for her active participation and dedication! We look forward to staying connected with this cohort as we continue our sustainability journey alongside our portfolio companies. ✨ ... in the pics below: - the Tarot Cards of Tech by Artefact - a creative way to forecast the potential impact of digital products 🔮 - environmental initiative evaluation matrix 🌳 - our very own Giulia Margstahler's certificate of course completion 📜 cc Paolo Gesess Massimiliano Magrini
