| Vision | Becoming world leading Gene Discovery company using our proprietary innovative IP protected technology |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Active in | Since we established in 2014, we are active in R&D of gene discovery and improving important traits for plants (e.g. Drought res., Herbicide tol.), esp. for world agriculture |
|||
| Products | The company is currently in advanced development of 6 products: 1) compound against the Red Palm Weevil 2) substance against soilborne disease and nematodes 3) biological compounds for yield increase 4) improving drought stress resistance in plants 5) herbicide tolerance plants 6) Gene discovery for production of APIs of cannabis* outside of the plant |
|||
| End Customers | Our products shall be sold to worldwide Seed companies, Ag-chem companies and Plant Protection companies |
|||
| IP | Five patents submitted on the gene discovery technology and other products achieved through it | |||
| Business Partnerships |
6 business collaborations with world leading Seed and Ag-chem companies, holdings of 42% in Targene* in medical cannabis (together with Seach Medical Group ltd.) |
