Idinvest in €12m round for M2i
Idinvest Partners has provided a €12m round of funding for life sciences company M2i, making a fourth investment from its Growth Fund II.
Idinvest Growth Fund II was launched last year and held a first close on €250m in November. The GP then said it was aiming for a final close on €350-400m in Q1 2017.
Growth Fund II targets SMEs in the digital, health and energy sectors. Around 12-20 investments are planned with the vehicle, with tickets varying between €10-14m.
The fresh capital should enable M2i to finance the approval process of its biocontrol products, pursue its R&D investment strategy, speed up the commercial launch of its products, and accelerate its international development.

Founded in 2013, M2i specialises in the production of pheromones for the biological protection of crops.
