Spore.Bio, a French startup, is revolutionizing pathogen detection in food processing factories using Generative AI. Traditional microbiological monitoring involves time-consuming testing and waiting for lab results. Spore.Bio's device accelerates this process by shining optical light on surfaces and comparing the detected microbes with its training data. The startup claims to provide almost real-time results, a significant improvement over the typical 5-20 days of factory testing.

Spore.Bio recently secured €8 million in pre-seed funding. Founded in 2023 by a team including former Nestlé executive Amine Raji, the startup aims to revolutionize food safety.
