Collaborations with other companies.

We already have a battery of target plants and an elicitation process for the naturally overproduction of phytomelatonin biosynthesis to acceptable levels. No transgenic plants or synthetic chemicals are used in the process, in order to obtain a 100% natural product. The most critical stages of research (TRL-4) have been covered, and now we are trying to scale our methodology to a pilot-plant (TRL-5-6-7) to study its optimization, performance, richness and stability and thus, after this Proof of Concept, to be able to apply knowledge to industrial production. In this regard, there are several multi-national companies that have been interested in our advances to acquire and commercialize our extracts. Confidentiality agreements (NDA) have been signed between several companies:

 

  • ESENCO-ACTIVE DEVELOPPEMENT SAS
  • ARKOPHARMA SAS
