The Netherlands-based ag-tech company Doktar has secured €7.5 million in a recent funding round co-led by the European Circular Bioeconomy Fund (ECBF) and Pymwymic, a Dutch impact investor focused on socially and environmentally responsible investments. Existing investor Diffusion Capital Partners (DCP) also took part in the round. This fresh capital injection is set to accelerate Doktar’s growth and the expansion of its integrated product portfolio, enabling the company to scale its data-driven approach to sustainable agriculture globally.
Doktar, founded in 2017 by Tanzer Bilgen and Selim Ucer, sits at the forefront of digital agriculture transformation. The company’s unique platform unites Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, smart software, and artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver real-time farm monitoring, decision support, and verifiable sustainability outcomes. Its offerings cover a broad spectrum of precision ag-tech needs across 10 countries and support over 250,000 hectares of regenerative farmland. Among its clients are six of the ten largest global food and beverage companies, all leveraging Doktar’s platform to enhance sustainability and supply chain transparency.
The infusion of capital comes from ECBF, the first venture fund exclusively dedicated to backing the shift from fossil-based to bio-based circular economies. With €300 million under management, ECBF typically invests between €2 and €10 million in growth-stage enterprises innovating in sectors such as ag-tech, industrial biotech, and food and nutrition. Isabelle Laurencin, Partner at ECBF, praised Doktar for “[combining] agronomic expertise, scalable technology, and measurable environmental outcomes,” highlighting the company’s capacity to enable regenerative agriculture at scale with practical applicability.
Pymwymic is a community of over 250 European wealth holders committed to impact investing, aligning financial decisions with meaningful social and environmental contributions. Rogier Pieterse, a Partner at Pymwymic, underscored Doktar’s distinctive role in aiding farmers and food corporations to make smarter, efficiency-driven, and impact-conscious choices.
The investment will primarily bolster Doktar’s ambition to expand across Europe, North America, and South America, refining its holistic execution model and integrated product suite. As Bilgen and Ucer explained, this represents “an important milestone” on their journey to digitise agriculture at scale, reflecting the growing global demand for integrated, data-driven solutions aimed at enhancing climate resilience in the food production system.
Doktar’s product ecosystem includes tailored AI-driven tools such as Orbit, PestTrap, Filiz, CropMap, FieldFlow, SoilScanner, and FlowMeter, which together address various farming challenges from crop health monitoring to pest management and resource efficiency. This integrated approach positions Doktar as a crucial digital backbone supporting measurable, verifiable impacts across complex agricultural supply chains—a necessity as the sector grapples with rising pressures to boost productivity while reducing environmental footprints.
The company also fosters climate and sustainability initiatives in partnership with like-minded organisations, aiming to transform agricultural value chains into more resilient, planet-friendly systems. This aligns with wider industry trends prioritising data-backed agricultural production to mitigate the impact of climate change and ensure long-term food system sustainability.
Earlier reports indicate Doktar is broadening its geographic footprint, with ongoing expansion efforts into Southern Europe, North Africa, and beyond. The new funding round follows its successful Series A investment, also led by Diffusion Capital Partners, which has propelled its presence in countries including Greece, Spain, and Romania.
As agriculture stands at a crossroads between tradition and technology, Doktar epitomises the emerging breed of digital innovators leveraging AI and IoT to deliver impactful, scalable sustainability solutions. With this latest €7.5 million raise, the company is well positioned to extend its influence and drive the transition to regenerative farming practices on a global scale.
