Bioo

What Bioo does

Bioo (legally Arkyne Technologies S.L.) is a Spanish biotech and landscaping company founded in 2015 and headquartered in Viladecans (Barcelona), Spain, with regional headquarters in Shanghai and Riyadh. The company has developed a proprietary biological battery platform in which electrogenic microorganisms living inside a custom substrate decompose organic matter to release electrons and hydrogen ions, producing continuous low-voltage electrical current without harming living organisms. Bioo monetizes this core platform through a portfolio of products — Bioo Panel (a bioreactor for green areas that generates energy, reduces irrigation by up to 48%, and provides heat compensation of up to -4°C), Bioo Lumina (a non-toxic bioluminescent coating applied to living plants for up to 90% lighting energy reduction and 95% light pollution reduction), Bioo Switch (touch-activated plant interfaces for interactive experiences), Bioo Sensor (a soil-powered agricultural sensor co-developed with Bayer Crop Science), and Bioo One (a portable Switch variant) — packaged together as full-cycle project services from design through installation and maintenance.

The business operates a sales-led, project-based GTM targeting large enterprise and megaproject customers in real estate, urban development, hospitality, public infrastructure, and now agriculture. Pricing is quote-driven with no public tiers, and revenue streams include hardware sales, professional services, and licensed technology deployments. Named flagship customers include NEOM, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Aramco, Bayer Crop Science, Sacyr, Eden Project, Port of Ibiza, Volvo, and Reckitt, with installations across 10+ countries spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia, North America, and Africa. The company reported triple-digit growth in 2024 with a committed pipeline exceeding €40M for the following two years, supported by funding from Almenara Capital Partners, LifeTech Innovation Fund, Tensor Ventures, Archipelago Next, and AcceliCITY.

Bioo's competitive position rests on over a decade of internal R&D producing trade-secret-protected processes and substrates that competitors have not replicated publicly. The company has accumulated 109 international awards including recognition from Google (South Summit), the European Parliament (EU Top 50), and Forbes (30 Under 30 Europe), and it operates a consumer lifestyle sub-brand called Bioolux alongside its enterprise business.

Core offering

Bioo develops and sells proprietary biological technology products including bioreactors (Bioo Panel 2.0) that generate electricity from soil microorganisms decomposing organic matter, bioluminescent plant systems (Bioo Lumina), plant-based biological switches (Bioo Switch), and soil-powered agricultural sensors (Bioo Sensor). These products are delivered through full-cycle biotech landscaping projects that span design, installation, and maintenance for real estate developers, smart cities, hospitality, and agriculture clients worldwide.

Product overview

Bioo is a biotech and landscaping company founded in 2015 that operates as a multi-product platform built around proprietary biological technologies. The core product suite consists of three interconnected systems: Bioo Panel (a bioreactor platform that generates electricity from soil microorganisms, saves water, and compensates heat), Bioo Lumina (bioluminescent plant technology for lighting), and Bioo Switch (biological switches for interactive experiences using plant touch). The portfolio extends to Bioo Sensor, an agricultural sensor powered by biological battery technology for precision farming developed with Bayer Crop Science, and Bioo One as a portable variant of the Switch technology. All products work within an integrated biotech landscaping service that delivers projects from design through installation and maintenance, creating biotech buildings and cities worldwide.

Brands

• Bioolux: Lifestyle sub-brand for daily life products seeking a biotech world.

Products and services

• Bioo Panel 2.0 A bioreactor system using natural soil microorganisms to generate electricity from organic matter decomposition. Provides up to 48% irrigation reduction, up to -4°C heat compensation, and up to 8.05 kg/m² CO₂ reduction per year. Powers up to 6 light points per 7x7 meters with an average 7-year return on investment. Configurable for sub-soil, roofs, ceilings, and walkways, with underground sensorized irrigation and real-time impact monitoring.
• Bioo Lumina A bioluminescence technology that transforms living plants into light sources without genetic modification. A non-toxic, biocompatible compound applied to plant dermis captures external light and releases it in darkness. Available in multiple colors (Teal, Lapis, Turquoise, Green). Achieves up to 90% energy consumption reduction and 95% light pollution reduction versus traditional light points.
• Bioo Switch A biological switch technology that transforms living plants into interactive interfaces activated by human touch. When a person touches a plant, frequency changes are converted into voltage that activates lights, screens, sounds, and music through devices placed below the soil. Available as tailor-made projects or pre-existing portable units (Bioo One).
• Bioo Sensor A 100% sustainable agricultural sensor powered energetically by soil itself using biological battery technology. Applicable to humidity, temperature, and pH sensors with wireless communication. The sensor recharges automatically from soil every 24 hours, eliminates chemical batteries, and is positioned as twice as cheap as batteries and 10 times cheaper than solar panels for agricultural sensors. Co-developed with Bayer Crop Science. Dimensions: 20cm height, 10cm diameter.
• Bioo Projects Full-cycle biotech landscaping and architecture service creating biotech buildings and cities from concept and analysis to installation and maintenance. Includes project management, landscaping design, installation teams, and quality control across residential, commercial, and megastructure projects worldwide.

Regional players

• SunCulture: Kenya-based company providing solar-powered irrigation and agtech solutions to smallholder African farmers. Comparable as a sustainable ag-energy provider, though serving a different geography and customer profile than Bioo.

Direct peers

• Plant-e: Dutch company developing biological batteries that harvest electricity from living plant roots via electrogenic bacteria. Closest direct technical analogue to Bioo's biological battery concept, with overlap in the bio-based energy generation category.
• Semios: Precision agriculture platform offering in-field sensors, IoT, and analytics for crop management. Directly comparable to Bioo's Bioo Sensor agriculture line as an enterprise-facing ag-sensor provider.
• CropX: Israeli ag-analytics company selling soil and environmental sensors for precision farming. Overlaps with Bioo Sensor on the precision-agriculture sensor use case and on Bayer Crop Science-adjacent go-to-market channels.

Broad incumbents

• Bayer Crop Science: Global agriculture input and digital farming giant. Already a co-development partner for Bioo's agro line, but operates as a broad incumbent whose Crop Science division encompasses the ag-sensor and precision-farming category Bioo is targeting.
• John Deere: Global incumbent in agriculture equipment that has expanded into precision agriculture sensors, data, and automation. Represents the established scale competitor that Bioo's Bayer partnership helps offset in the ag-sensor market.
• ClearEdge Power / Plug Power: Established clean energy companies developing alternative power generation and storage technologies. Relevant as broad incumbents in adjacent clean-energy categories competing for sustainability-driven enterprise budgets.

Emerging players

• Plenty: US vertical farming company using biotech and controlled-environment agriculture. Comparable as an emerging biotech-meets-agriculture player, though focused on indoor farming rather than biological batteries.
• Glowee: French biotech startup producing bioluminescent light solutions using marine microorganisms. Closest emerging competitor to Bioo Lumina, sharing the bioluminescent lighting category.
• Intelligent Growth Solutions (IGS): UK-based vertical farming technology provider integrating IoT and lighting into controlled environment agriculture. Comparable as a biotech-enabled agriculture infrastructure player serving enterprise customers.
