Envu partners with BioConsortia to develop biological solutions
Envu, a global environmental science company aiming to provide solutions that protect and enhance the health of environments around the world, formed a new partnership with BioConsortia, an innovator in microbial crop solutions, to evaluate and develop biological solutions for non-crop applications in the environmental science industry.
According to the company, this collaboration reflects the currently growing demand for sustainable alternatives for pest management and plant protection, driven by consumer demand and increasing regulatory pressures. By pairing BioConsortia’s technology with the product commercialization experience at Envu, the partnership plans to meet these growing needs.
“Biological solutions are a critical part of our sustainability commitment to nature-positive innovation,” said Bernard Jacqmin, head of global innovation for Envu. “Through our work with BioConsortia, we hope to enhance our portfolio with forward-thinking innovations that complement existing modes of action. For our customers, this means an expanded range of sustainable solutions to help them meet their toughest challenges.”
Strategic Collaboration
The collaboration between BioConsortia and Envu supports the companies’ objectives and shared vision of driving innovation to balance the needs of society and nature while providing solutions for customers.
BioConsortia uses its patented Advanced Microbial Selection (AMS) process and GenePro platform, along with advanced genomics techniques, for the discovery, design and selection of microbes. These technologies allow the company to effectively predict and harness the natural power of microbes.
Envu is leveraging its track record in technology development and commercialization in the environmental science space along with its global reach and understanding of regulatory landscapes and customer needs to accelerate the adoption of biological solutions in environmental science markets.
“For BioConsortia, this is an exciting opportunity to demonstrate our dedication to biocontrol innovation and bring our cutting-edge technologies into new markets,” said Hong Zhu, Ph.D., senior vice president of research and development for BioConsortia. “The expertise found at Envu in non-crop sectors, like professional pest management and turf and ornamentals, makes them the perfect partner to help us accelerate market entry and scale solutions that reduce environmental impact.”
Expanded Commitment to Biological Solutions
In the 2024 season, Envu tested advanced biological candidates from BioConsortia’s pipeline, and they yielded promising results, according to the company. The partnership will move forward with select candidates in 2025 while continuing to explore additional technologies in the development pipeline.
