Yara backs soil-sensing startup Stenon as fertiliser prices surge, following $20M first close

Yara International has invested in Stenon, a Potsdam-based startup that measures soil nitrogen in the field, through its venture arm, Yara Growth Ventures. The deal is the second close of Stenon's Series B round, and its financial terms were not disclosed. The first close, earlier this year, raised €18 million ($20.5 million) and was led by Dutch impact investor Pymwymic. Stenon's portable FarmLab device measures plant-available nitrogen, soil organic matter, temperature, and moisture. Its software and AI models turn that data into fertiliser recommendations for farmers and agronomists. The deal comes as Middle East conflict disrupts fertiliser exports. In June, the World Bank said urea and phosphate prices had reached their highest levels since 2022. The new funding will go toward developing the platform and expanding it to more crops and regions.

Bertelsmann brings UFA Film Night to Luxembourg with sold-out screening of restored Ernst Lubitsch classic "carmen"

Bertelsmann brings UFA Film Night to Luxembourg with sold-out screening of restored Ernst Lubitsch classic "carmen" Thomas Rabe, Karin Schlautmann, Nacho de Paz, Helen Müller and Stephan Gehmacher (f.l.) (C) Bertelsmann / Fotograf: Yann Wirthor (IN BRIEF) Bertelsmann has staged the first UFA Film Night in Luxembourg, drawing around 1,200 attendees to a sold-out presentation of Ernst Lubitsch's digitally restored 1918 silent film "Carmen." The screening was organised with Philharmonie Luxembourg and accompanied live by the Luxembourg Philharmonic under conductor Nacho de Paz, performing a score composed by Tobias Schwencke for the film's 2021 UFA Film Nights presentation in Berlin. The Luxembourg event extends a cultural format Bertelsmann launched in Berlin in 2012 and has since taken to Brussels, Madrid, Paris and New York. Bertelsmann Chairman and CEO Thomas Rabe highlighted the company's longstanding relationship with Luxembourg through both business and cultural activities. The UFA Film Nights form part of Culture@Bertelsmann, which also includes support for Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation film restorations, preservation and digitisation of the Archivio Storico Ricordi in Milan, and the literary format "The Blue Sofa." (PRESS RELEASE) LUXEMBOURG, 28-Sep-2026 - /EuropaWire/ - Bertelsmann has brought its UFA Film Night to Luxembourg for the first time, attracting around 1,200 film enthusiasts to a sold-out ciné-concert featuring a digitally restored version of Ernst Lubitsch's 1918 silent film "Carmen." Presented in cooperation with the Philharmonie Luxembourg, the event combined the restored film with a live performance by the Luxembourg Philharmonic, marking the latest international expansion of the cultural series that originated in Berlin. The orchestra performed the score composed by Tobias Schwencke specifically for the film's presentation at the 2021 UFA Film Nights in Berlin. In Luxembourg, the performance was conducted by Nacho de Paz, bringing together silent cinema and live orchestral music for the local premiere. The event builds on the established UFA Film Nights programme, which Bertelsmann launched in Berlin in 2012. Since then, the format has also been presented in Brussels, Madrid, Paris and New York, with the Luxembourg edition extending its international presence further. Thomas Rabe, Chairman and CEO of Bertelsmann, said the company has maintained close ties with Luxembourg for more than four decades. He pointed to Bertelsmann's business activities in the country through RTL Group and the recently opened Riverty Bank, alongside the company's longstanding engagement with Luxembourg's cultural sector. Rabe said the UFA Film Night offers audiences in Luxembourg a distinctive cultural experience by bringing together restored cinema and live music. Bertelsmann's involvement in film preservation extends beyond the UFA Film Nights. Since 2014, the company has supported major restoration projects undertaken by the Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Foundation, helping preserve and make historically important films accessible to contemporary audiences. These activities form part of Culture@Bertelsmann, the company's broader cultural initiative. Through the programme, Bertelsmann supports projects focused on preserving cultural heritage and widening access through digitisation, exhibitions, concerts and other formats. The company also owns the Archivio Storico Ricordi in Milan, an archive containing more than 200 years of Italian opera history. Bertelsmann is cataloguing the collection according to current archival standards and is making thousands of documents available online free of charge. The holdings include stage and costume designs, librettos, business correspondence and other historical materials connected with Italian musical and theatrical culture. Bertelsmann's cultural activities also include "The Blue Sofa," a literary format that has provided authors with a platform to present new works for more than 20 years. The Luxembourg debut of the UFA Film Night therefore forms part of a wider programme through which Bertelsmann combines cultural preservation with public access and live presentation. The company said the sold-out attendance demonstrates strong audience interest in the combination of restored silent cinema and orchestral performance. Bertelsmann operates globally across media, services and education, employing more than 75,000 people in around 50 countries. Its businesses include RTL Group, Penguin Random House, BMG, Arvato Group, Bertelsmann Marketing Services, Bertelsmann Education Group and Bertelsmann Investments. The company generated revenues of approximately €19 billion in the 2025 financial year.
