About us

The NatureTECH Observatory was founded by Motherbase and the Mission Economics for Biodiversity (MEB) to present and classify an ecosystem of start-ups committed to nature.

Motherbase's innovative, open, and scalable methodologies accelerate the digital transformation of your organization. Motherbase is an intelligent directory of startups, gathering more than 180,000 automated notices, among which 3,000 are dedicated to biodiversity topics. Motherbase data are regularly enriched by our experts.

The Mission Economics for Biodiversity is a French initiative of Caisse des Dépôts managed by CDC Biodiversité. It has been promoting the mainstreaming of biodiversity within the world of business and public policy for over 10 years through its technical analysis and research and development tools, such as AgriBEST or the Global Biodiversity Score.

What we do

We combine data, economic analysis and environmental expertise to explore the NatureTECH emerging ecosystem.

• Database: by using the Motherbase database, we collect and sort over 1000 start-ups developing different technologies in line with the Global Biodiversity framework of Kunming-Montreal.
• Analysis: thanks to the data appendix, we analyse economic trends and draft micro and macro analysis by sector and technologies.
• Community: because defending nature is a collective affair, we are a catalyst for businesses committed to stop and reverse the biodiversity loss.

What we define as NatureTECH

NatureTECH =(Biodiversity-( Sixth Mass extinction )/( Mitigation Hierarchy) )×Startups
