Bo: Unlocking Rural Market Value Through Smart AgriTech
About
Bo is a fast-growing digital platform transforming how local agrifood producers connect with consumers, institutions, and markets.
At its core, Bo is an interactive database and social network that empowers small producers, whom we call Hosts, to promote their products, activities, and geographical identity. Consumers (Visitors) discover these Hosts via an interactive map, book visits and tastings, and engage through gamified experiences and content sharing.
Bo monetises through a multi-vertical business model:
-
B2B2C: Commission on bookings (5%) and affiliate product links (10%), with optional promoted listings and analytics for Hosts.
-
B2C: A loyalty and reward system encourages repeat usage and emotional connection with rural territories.
-
B2G: SaaS licenses, dashboards, and participation in EU-funded rural development projects.
What makes Bo different:
-
Already operational in Catalonia with over 380 producer profiles
-
Built-in interoperability: Hosts can link to external platforms (GIs, marketplaces, councils), making Bo an Interactive Database of Databases
-
Fully compliant with EU digital and agri-food policy frameworks
-
Backed by an interdisciplinary team with experience in public policy, tech, and design
-
Aligned with major EU megatrends: sustainability, rural innovation, digital inclusion, and short supply chains
Bo is now seeking strategic investment to:
-
Scale to new EU regions
-
Enhance AI-driven personalisation and mapping of GIs
-
Expand the gamified user ecosystem
-
Develop B2B services (e.g. sourcing for restaurants, retailers, and food tourism operators)
We are building the digital layer of Europe’s rural economies, connecting people, producers, and places through food.
