Biotalys

Biotalys is a rapidly growing and transformative food and crop protection company developing a new generation of protein-based biocontrol solutions, shaping the future of sustainable and safe food supply.

Based on its ground-breaking technology platform, the company has developed a broad pipeline of effective and safe products that address key crop pests and diseases across the whole value chain, from soil to plate.  Combining the high-performance characteristics and consistency of chemicals with the clean safety profile of biologicals, Biotalys provides ideal crop protection agents for both pre- and post-harvest applications.  Biotalys' lead biofungicide, BioFun-1, has demonstrated consistent, high efficacy against major pests, such as Botrytis cinerea and powdery mildew, in a global fruit and vegetables field trial.  The company is on track to submit the registration dossiers later in 2020 and expects to launch BioFun-1 in the US in 2022, followed by global market introductions.

Biotalys was founded in 2013 as a spin-off from the VIB (Flanders Institute for Biotechnology) and has raised €61 million ($66 million) to date from specialist international investors.  The company is based in the biotech cluster in Ghent, Belgium.  More information can be found on www.biotalys.com.
