AI-powered MRI technology that reveals hidden biological knowledge, turning it into actionable intelligence to reduce waste and increase transparency.
Innovators and organizations worldwide seeking to gain deep insights into biological processes and improve operational transparency.
- Hardware sales - upfront price for MRI scanner units (tiered by throughput)
Direct sales force - dedicated account teams for poultry and produce sectors (Europe, US) · Strategic OEM partnerships (e.g., Vencomatic) that integrate Orbem scanners into hatchery equipment · Industry exhibitions & trade shows (e.g., Fruit Logistica, World Poultry Expo) for lead generation
Equipment OEMs (e.g., Vencomatic) for integrated hatchery solutions · Agricultural research institutes (e.g., Fraunhofer, Wageningen) for joint validation studies · Funding bodies & investors - EU Horizon Europe, Innovation Industries, Supernova Invest (Series B)[2]
R&D, AI technology development
Proprietary AI-powered MRI technology and automated solutions for generating deep biological insights.
Developing AI-powered MRI tools and providing automated solutions to uncover hidden biological data for customers.
High-touch, solution-selling - on-site engineering support during installation and calibration · Managed service contracts - routine maintenance, software updates, and AI model retraining · Data-sharing agreements - customers receive analytics dashboards; Orbem retains anonymized data for R&D
Competes in the biotech and food inspection space using non-invasive imaging; differentiates through proprietary AI-powered MRI that reveals hidden biological insights compared to traditional invasive or surface-level testing methods.
Need for transparency in biological processes and the challenge of reducing waste through better understanding of hidden biological factors.
- Introduce a tiered SaaS model (e.g., per-scan vs. unlimited) to capture price-sensitive growers while upselling high-volume processors
- Map current customer contracts to identify upsell opportunities for SaaS subscriptions · How can Orbem transition from a hardware-centric model to a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) ecosystem? · What are the key regulatory milestones for MRI-based food imaging in the United States?
OEM partnerships and direct sales channels drive hardware revenue, while data-sharing agreements feed the AI R&D that sustains the core value proposition.
- Strong financial backing - €55.5 M Series B round led by top-tier investors signals confidence in scalability and market potential[2]
