London-based Mondra Merges with Vienna-Based Startup Inoqo in Strategic Consolidation
The two sustainability platforms Mondra and inoqo have announced their strategic merger. The consolidation brings together two industry leaders into a global entity focused on decarbonization and resilience of the global food system. The merged organization will operate under the Mondra brand. inoqo previously operated with a B2C app, then switched to a B2B business model following a seven-figure investment. Since then, it has enabled food retailers to assess the environmental impact of their thousands of food and beverage products.
Mondra, a provider of Scope 3 SaaS solutions for retail based in London, and inoqo, a sustainability platform from Vienna, are combining their expertise. The company has just secured a Series A of €11.8 million. The merger creates a strong European foundation for the combined organization, which serves a growing global customer base of food retailers, manufacturers, and consumer goods brands.
The merged company combines inoqo’s comprehensive European market expertise and impact database with Mondra’s technology. The goal is to provide the most robust capabilities on the market for product-related sustainability assessment, supplier engagement, and scalable climate action measures in retail.
Operational Structure and Technology
The merged organization will operate with a globally distributed team, with core locations in London, Vienna, and India. The integration focuses on unifying product development and data systems. The result will be a single, AI-powered platform based on Mondra’s digital twin technology and the Sherpa AI platform.
The combined organization’s customers include leading food retailers such as Tesco, M&S, Co-op, ASDA, Lidl, Aldi, dm drogerie markt, Pets at Home, and Sainsbury’s. In addition, there are major suppliers such as Avara, Samworth Brothers, Greencore, and Bakkavor, as well as global brands like Starbucks and Nando’s.
The Role of Markus Linder
Markus Linder, founder and CEO of inoqo, will join Mondra’s leadership team. In his new position, he will play a central role in the company’s international growth and strategic direction. Linder brings his expertise to further develop the technology platform to achieve measurable business results through climate risk management.
“We founded inoqo to make sustainability measurable and actionable across the entire value chain. The merger with Mondra is the ultimate realization of this vision. By combining our strengths, we are no longer just two market leaders, but a single global force providing the food and beverage industry with the intelligence required for a resilient and sustainable future,” said Linder.
Timeline and Regulatory Approval
The transaction is still subject to regulatory approvals. The merger is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026. Following completion of the merger, the combined organization will continue its operations under the Mondra brand and expand its position as a provider of sustainability intelligence for the global food system.
