Egyptian agritech startup Croptimus has received an undisclosed strategic investment from Venture X, according to reports, in a deal expected to accelerate the company’s expansion of sustainable agricultural technologies across regional and global markets.
Founded in 2021 by Ahmed Hassanein and Abdelrahman AlAtrash, Croptimus specialises in converting agricultural and food waste into high-value bio-products such as biochar, activated oil and bio-oil. These products are designed to enhance soil health, reduce water and fertiliser use and support more sustainable farming practices for business customers across agricultural supply chains.
The startup, which graduated from the Harvest Accelerator, a programme focused on agricultural innovation and strengthening regional food systems, plans to use the new funding to scale its technology and extend its market reach beyond Egypt into broader Middle East and international markets, according to coverage of the announcement.
Stakeholders said the investment reflects heightened interest in agritech solutions that address climate challenges, resource constraints and food security in emerging economies, where sustainable and efficient agricultural practices are increasingly prioritised.
Croptimus’s approach aligns with growing investor focus on technologies that can transform waste into commercially and environmentally valuable inputs, potentially contributing to more resilient and productive agricultural systems across the region.
Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed by the parties involved.
