General information
- Short Summary
- The company is a dynamic biotechnology company, which develops nanotechnology-based and highly effective products by evaluating agricultural waste. The company offers innovative solutions that aim to increase the water use efficiency of plants against drought and reduce the damage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
- Full Description
-
Today, farmers use chemical fertilizers and pesticides to increase productivity and combat pests. However, these chemicals reduce plant resistance over time and encourage farmers to use more chemicals. As a result, soil fertility decreases, ecosystem balance is disrupted, and farmers are negatively affected in health and economy. In addition, intensive chemical use makes it difficult to approve crops for export and causes obstacles in global trade. In addition, drought caused by climate change weakens plant development, making them more vulnerable to diseases and pests. Farmers are looking for economical and effective solutions that will nourish plants in drought conditions and reduce the harms of chemical use. While fertilizer and pesticide resistance requires less use, environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions are now necessary. In this context, biostimulants stand out as an important solution for farmers. However, traditional biostimulants are generally expensive and synthetic formulations can harm the environment. Although more environmentally friendly, natural product-based biostimulants have problems remaining active for long periods in field conditions. At this point, biostimulant solutions based on controlled release systems containing agricultural waste developed by the company offer farmers a reliable, environmentally friendly and effective agricultural practice. The company’s first patented product contributes to the goal of reducing chemical fertiliser use by 20% in line with the 2030 targets of the European Green Deal. This product represents an important step towards the future of modern agriculture in terms of environmental sustainability and efficiency.
The company’s innovative biostimulants make a significant contribution to the circular economy by utilizing agricultural waste. Hazelnut shells are burned in ovens. The use of extracts obtained from waste such as hazelnut shells contributes to waste management and provides an important raw material for sustainable agricultural practices. This approach reduces environmental impacts and creates economic value by reusing waste in line with circular economy principles. The company’s nanotechnology-based controlled release system allows active ingredients to be released to the plant in a controlled manner over a long period. The innovative features of this system increase plant bioavailability, providing more effective results compared to traditional methods. Thanks to controlled release, active ingredients provide lower amounts and longer-lasting effects, reducing chemical fertilizer use by 20%. This allows farmers to achieve high yields by using fewer chemicals, while also contributing to a reduction in their carbon footprint. The company’s product offers an environmentally friendly approach by reducing chemical fertilizer use and increasing efficiency in agricultural production. This system, which is in line with the European Green Deal goals, aims to increase the economic profitability of farmers while supporting environmental sustainability. In this way, the company’s innovative technology provides both economic and environmental advantages in the agricultural sector. - Advantages and Innovations

Investor Perspective: The company’s expectation from investors is to have financial support in the commercialization and globalization of the company’s innovative biostimulant products and the transition to mass production. Investors can accelerate the company’s growth by contributing to operational areas such as the expansion of production facilities and market support. In addition, it is also expected to have strategic guidance with their knowledge and experience in agricultural technologies and sustainable biotechnology.
Joint Collaboration Perspective: Within the scope of the collaboration, the potential business partners are expected to help the company for the further advancement of the company’s innovative solutions by sharing technical knowledge and collaborating on R&D projects. In this context, the company is actively seeking collaboration in omics-based research (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics) and field studies for the plant studies of the company’s products. These collaborations offer significant opportunities to test the effectiveness of the company’s biostimulant products in the field, increase their efficiency in plant trials, and accelerate the transition from the laboratory to the field. It will also be a great advantage for business partners with a strong business network in the global agricultural market to discover new markets and popularise the company’s products worldwide actively. In addition, collaborations in product marketing are viewed positively.
