This funding is strategically allocated to finalize the commercial release of **LeapEye**, the world’s most advanced broadacre camera system, and to prioritize the global expansion of the LeapBox. Recognized as the new industry standard, the LeapBox provides farmers with 100% peace of mind, replacing the outdated "spray and pray" methods of the past with uncompromised precision.

### **The End of Forced Compromise**

For too long, the agricultural industry has been held back by technology that simply fails to meet modern challenges. Farmers are forced to buy outdated systems that perform poorly—costing them money every day through inefficiency and waste. BBLeap has shattered this status quo by delivering a system with the technical dominance.

“I have always said that BBLeap will become a world player that takes agriculture to the next level,” says Peter Millenaar, CEO of BBLeap. “Until now, farmers were forced into bad applications because the industry standards aren't good enough. Today, our technology is a ‘must-have’ for every farmer in the world. We give them 100% assurance that they spray exactly what they want—delivering good applications, fewer diseases, and fewer weeds, while using significantly fewer chemicals. We are the solution the world is longing for.”

This has also been confirmed by the recently received official JKI approval. A few months ago, [BBLeap was awarded the Agrifoodpluim in recognition of its groundbreaking technology.](https://www.brabant.nl/actueel/nieuws/bbleap-rijen-wint-agrifoodpluim/#:~:text=Agrifoodpluim%20december%202025,Marc%20Oudenhoven%20(Agrarische%20ontwikkeling).)

### **Proven Impact**

With over 200 users already operating BBLeap systems across Europe and Australia, and a major launch currently underway in Canada, the gap between BBLeap and the competition is undeniable:

- **Chemical Savings:** Reductions between 20% and 99%.
- **Capacity Increase:** A productivity boost of up to 40%.
- **Total Peace of Mind:** A high-capacity, reliable system that finally makes the vision of "Clean Food, Clean World" a reality.

### **Investor Perspectives: A Radical Breakthrough**

Representing the investor consortium, Daan Wilms van Kersbergen (Yield Lab Europe) and Bob Rottinghuis & Robert Lodewegen (ESquare Capital as lead investor) emphasize that BBLeap is filling a massive void left by the industry’s stagnant standards.

“BBLeap is a radical breakthrough in the field of Agriculture 4.0 in both sustainability and its high-performance hardware with proprietary software. While the traditional players have left farmers forced to use technology that simply isn't good enough, BBLeap is solving the efficiency-sustainability paradox. By achieving up to 99% chemical savings and delivering 'Formula 1' levels of precision, BBLeap isn’t just iterating—it is taking agriculture to the next level. This is the uncompromised solution the global food system is longing for, and we are proud to back the team making it happen.”

“As an early investor, BOM is proud to continue supporting BBLeap in scaling a breakthrough technology that drastically reduces chemical use while improving farm efficiency. With this round, BBLeap is positioned to accelerate global adoption of sustainable precision spraying — perfectly aligned with our mission to drive climate‑positive innovation from Brabant to the world”, Ingrid Nieweg, Investment Manager Climate Tech at Brabant Development Agency (BOM).
