In Ovo
In Ovo is a Dutch AgTech scaleup based in Leiden, that develops high-tech solutions to improve animal welfare and sustainability in the poultry sector. After nearly ten years of development, In Ovo’s Ella machine produced the first ‘cull-free chicks’ in Q4, 2020. Since then, a highly improved Ella machine has been developed with an increased capacity to match modern hatcheries’ high production volumes. Next to Ella, In Ovo has a pipeline of other innovations to further increase its impact.
“We are very happy to have ECBF joining our mission to end chick culling and improving animal welfare and sustainability around the world. The philosophy of the fund and the people behind it are such a fantastic fit with the impact we want to have on the food ecosystem. We look forward to further scale up the company together and bring our technology to markets around the globe, creating more ethical and more sustainable food production.”
