General information

Short Summary
The SME is looking for partners from academia or other research institutions that are willing to co-develop microbiological solutions for precision agriculture, depollution and/or renaturation. The aim of the partnership will be the development of microbiological consortia and formulation to use as soil amendments. The partner will support the SME with microbiology expertise while the SME will support with a formulation in macro-capsules.
Full Description
At the heart of the SME, there is the mission to improve soil health by designing or supporting the design of solutions in the fields of sustainable agriculture, depollution, and soil renaturation. They fulfill this objective with encapsulated bioremediation strategies. They are leaders in Europe in macro-encapsulation by using organic and biodegradable material and selected microorganisms (fungi and bacteria). Their solutions are validated experimentally in laboratory conditions and in the field (pilot projects). They are currently looking for partners to increase our market traction particularly in precision agriculture or renaturation (biodiversity promotion field) in the context of a research consortium for Horizon europe calls or Eurostars calls by exemple.
Advantages and Innovations
Their competitive advantage is the patented macro-capsule technology that allows the encapsulation of a complex mixture of microorganisms and/or organic compounds. The capsule alone is an organic amendment that confers to the soil also aggregate/structural properties. The capsule constitutes a versatile platform with flexibility in size, weight and release control mechanisms. It is a precious tool with holistic applications but a very precision-biology orientation.
