YPOG advises Innovation Industries & Supernova Invest on Series B of Orbem

Berlin — The Euro­pean deep-tech inves­tors Inno­va­tion Indus­tries and Super­nova Invest are parti­ci­pa­ting in the Series B finan­cing round of the Munich-based company Orbem. The finan­cing round has a volume of EUR 55.5 million and was led by Inno­va­tion Indus­tries. Super­nova Invest and exis­ting inves­tors Gene­ral Cata­lyst, 83North, The Venture Coll­ec­tive, Possi­ble Ventures and seve­ral angel inves­tors also participated. 

Orbem has deve­lo­ped a tech­no­logy plat­form that makes magne­tic reso­nance imaging (MRI) usable for indus­trial appli­ca­ti­ons with the help of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence. The solu­ti­ons enable fast, scalable and non-inva­­sive analy­sis of biolo­gi­cal mate­ri­als and are alre­ady being used successfully in the poul­try indus­try. Orbem plans to use the fresh capi­tal in parti­cu­lar to enter the US market, further expand its solu­ti­ons for the food indus­try and, in the long term, apply the tech­no­logy in the health­care sector. 

Inno­va­tion Indus­tries and Super­nova Invest are among the leading Euro­pean venture capi­tal firms in the deep tech sector. The joint invest­ment in Orbem under­lines the confi­dence of both inves­tors in scalable indus­trial AI appli­ca­ti­ons with high tech­no­lo­gi­cal depth and sustainable impact. 

“Orbem combi­nes scien­ti­fic excel­lence with clear indus­trial appli­ca­bi­lity and inter­na­tio­nal scaling poten­tial. It is precis­ely at this inter­sec­tion of deep tech, indus­try and growth that we regu­larly support inves­tors such as Inno­va­tion Indus­tries and Super­nova Invest. We are deligh­ted to have supported this finan­cing round,” says Dr. Benja­min Ullrich, Co-Mana­­ging Part­ner at YPOG.
