ECOncrete secures multi-million dollar funding to scale sustainable marine infrastructure globally.

  • Company completes USD $14m total fundraise
  • Round led by Builders Vision with backing of Barclays Climate Ventures, Monaco’s ReOcean Fund and other institutional investors
  • Focus on key global growth sectors: coastal protection, sustainable ports and offshore infrastructure
  • Track record of delivering resilient infrastructure and biodiversity at scale from New York to New Zealand

New York, Monday, May 11th, 2026 – ECOncrete has completed a multi-million dollar fundraise to expand its global operations – bringing biodiversity, ecological enhancement and asset protection to coastal cities, ports and offshore infrastructure.

The company’s bio-enhancing technology can be applied in any type of concrete-based marine infrastructure to improve ecological uplift, while fully complying with high-performance construction standards. Its track record is based on scientific data and unrivalled expertise from more than 10 years of ecological monitoring of real-world installations which, in turn, guarantees predictable outcomes.

Now the company is set to accelerate its global growth after completing a USD $14m fundraise from major impact and institutional investors. The US-headquartered company has delivered high-profile projects around the world, from New York to New Zealand and many in between. Now, on the back of increasing global demand, ECOncrete is charting a course to expand its capacity to deliver more projects across sectors and geographies.

The latest funding is led by Builders Vision, the investment and philanthropy platform that invests innovative capital to accelerate promising solutions across food & agriculture, energy and oceans. Further investors in the round are Barclays Climate Ventures, which has now backed ECOncrete for five years; The Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation and Monaco Asset Management’s ReOcean Fund; BDT & MSD Partners (“BDT & MSD”) through Oceans Catalyst, its impact investing vehicle; and DCP. In addition, Open Road Impact provided a financing facility.

Dr. Ido Sella, Co-Founder and CEO of ECOncrete said: “Our patented technology delivers both ecological and structural impact in a single solution. Ecology is built in, not bolted on, ensuring long-term enhancement of local biodiversity while strengthening coastal resilience. With this latest fundraise, alongside the support of our investors, we are well positioned to scale our ability to meet growing global demand and help shift the industry toward more responsible and accountable marine construction. This milestone marks a significant step in our growth trajectory as we expand into new markets and provides a strong platform for our rapid global expansion.”

Over the past 18 months alone, ECOncrete has delivered its bio-enhancing technology in more than 20 marine infrastructure projects globally, providing over 90,000m² of valuable habitat and achieving x3.4 in revenue growth.

Cristin Pacifico, Vice President, Investments at Builders Vision said: “With increasing investment in coastal protection, offshore wind and cables, ports and other forms of shoreline infrastructure, the market for high-performance, adaptive materials is expanding rapidly. ECOncrete is well-positioned to meet this demand, delivering technology that strengthens critical infrastructure while simultaneously protecting marine biodiversity. At Builders Vision, we partner with companies that are innovating within traditional industries to build a more resilient future. As longstanding investors and supporters of ECOncrete, Builders Vision believes the company's successful fundraise and impressive growth solidify its position as a prominent leader in next-generation marine infrastructure.”

Cathreen Wong, Director, Barclays Climate Ventures, said: “Barclays Climate Ventures is proud to continue backing ECOncrete as it scales its technology to strengthen critical coastal and offshore infrastructure, while delivering measurable benefits for marine biodiversity. Grounded in years of real-world deployment and monitoring, their approach demonstrates how climate resilience and nature-positive outcomes can be built into the places and structures communities rely on, and this latest funding round will help accelerate global adoption.”

Romain Ciarlet, Vice Chairman & CEO, Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, said: “By integrating ecological performance into the core of marine infrastructure, ECOncrete embodies the type of scalable, science-based solution the ReOcean Fund is designed to invest in, where environmental impact and industrial performance are no longer mutually exclusive, but intrinsically linked. ECOncrete technology offers a robust and credible solution to the challenges of protecting marine biodiversity and has been positively experienced in Monaco since 2019.” 

Noa Meyer, Partner & Chief Impact Officer, BDT & MSD, said: “ECOncrete reflects the type of solution Oceans Catalyst was established to support. Our funders are family business leaders who think in generations, bringing a long-term commitment to ocean health. The company is demonstrating that innovative marine infrastructure can be a force for biodiversity. We are proud to invest alongside a syndicate that shares this perspective.”

Caroline Bressan, CEO of Open Road Impact, said: "ECOncrete is doing exactly the kind of work our oceans need right now, and we are honored to support their mission. Open Road exists to finance visionary organizations at critical moments—giving innovators like ECOncrete the runway to grow and deliver lasting impact for marine biodiversity."  

ECOncrete’s technology is already embedded in iconic and strategically significant marine assets worldwide, lining the quay walls of Europe’s busiest port in Rotterdam, protecting coastlines in New York, Denmark and New Zealand, reinforcing subsea cable infrastructure in the Mediterranean and Atlantic, protecting pipelines in the Adriatic, and increasing biodiversity in ports including the Port of San Diego and Port of San Francisco.
