Who we are

The NatureTECH Observatory was founded by Motherbase and CDC Biodiversité 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. CDC Biodiversité, a subsidy of Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, has been promoting the mainstreaming of biodiversity within the world of business and public policy for over 10 years through its technical analysis, research, and tool development such as AgriBEST or the Global Biodiversity Score.
