Current
Our mission is to harness plant biotechnology to extract resources essential for clean energy technology, and do so without sacrificing biodiversity, soil health or human well-being. Genomines offers a sustainable, lower cost and scalable agricultural alternative to conventional mining: a technology platform that enhances plants’ natural biology to unlock underutilized, metal-rich soils. We have been continually impressed by Forbion’s ambition and conviction. They back transformative ideas with both courage and the rigor of data-driven insight.Fabien Koutchekian
