The commitment adds a cleantech firm to Innovobot’s expanding and diverse portfolio
Montreal, April 6, 2018 — Innovobot today announced that it has made a lead investment in Carbicrete, a Montreal-based company commercializing a technology that enables the production of cement-free, carbon-negative concrete. With this direct commitment, Innovobot adds a cleantech company to its diversified portfolio.
“We are very pleased to be an anchor investor in Carbicrete,” said Innovobot partner Mario Venditti. “We believe the process that Carbicrete is commercializing has the potential to be truly game-changing, and we look forward to actively working with Carbicrete to accelerate their growth.”

“We are excited to have Innovobot as one of our lead investors,” says Chris Stern, Carbicrete’s CEO. “The team’s vast operational experience and the commitment they’ve shown to working hand-in-hand with our company’s management team will make for a very successful partnership.”
