Amatera Biosciences

Coffee, cacao, grapes, and other perennial crop production are under threat of climate change and massive diseases. 

We need to breed new varieties of these crops to meet demand and avoid deforestation and the intensive use of pesticides and fertilizers. But today, breeding techniques are not adapted to these plant models:

• - It take 20+ years to improve these varieties with conventional techniques based on hybridisation
• - Genomic techniques are still too long and expensive for these crops

At Amatera, we enable the world's largest food companies to future proof their reliance of these crops. How? By developing the world’s first automated system for screening plant cells, we are the only crop genetics company able to improve perennial crops genetics at the cellular level, 10x cheaper and 4x faster.
