🎉 SugaROx Wins Third Innovation Award in 2024! 🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that SugaROx has received the Innovation Prize at the Biostimulants World Congress in Miami! 🌍 This marks our third accolade of the year, following the Innovation & Excellence Awards and being named Agriculture Chemical Manufacturer of the Year. The congress spotlighted key industry trends, including the importance of differentiated, science-backed solutions like ours, making the Innovation Prize a testament to our approach. At SugaROx, we tackle critical bottlenecks in crop physiology by developing biostimulants featuring absorbable versions of powerful plant molecules. Our flagship molecule, a proprietary version of the sugar trehalose-6-phosphate (T6P), regulates carbon use and allocation in plants. This innovative approach stems from pioneering research by Rothamsted Research and Oxford University, our parent organizations. We are now collaborating with them and with industry partners to accelerate the development of this technology and bring impactful solutions to farmers. 💡 Want to join us in shaping the future of biostimulants?

🚀 Collaboration fuels innovation! At SugaROx, we believe that visionary science thrives through collaboration. That's why we're proud to partner with world-leading academic institutions like Cranfield University, who shares our passion for sustainable agriculture. As our Co-Founder and CTO, Dr Cara Griffiths, shared in the interview below, their Technology Accelerator Fund (TAF) provided crucial resources to test our cutting-edge biostimulant on oats - with excellent results. 🎯 If you are an innovative venture working on pioneering agri-tech solutions, we recommend TAF - applications for their next cohort are now open. #OpenInnovation #AgriTech #FoodSecurity #Biostimulants https://lnkd.in/eVic6wZD

🌟 Innovation & Excellence Award for Agriculture Chemical Manufacturer of the Year! 🌟 We are thrilled to share that our approach to crop stimulation has been recognized with another prestigious accolade! 🎉 Traditional biostimulants, extracts from algae, plants, or organic waste, typically deliver modest yield boosts of 2-5% for farmers. Using an invention by University of Oxford and Rothamsted Research, our scientists are redefining what’s possible by leveraging cutting-edge science. Our innovative single-molecule formulations, with active ingredients inspired by natural plant molecules, have demonstrated remarkable potential to increase wheat yields by up to 22%! This isn’t just an improvement; it’s a leap forward in ensuring global food security. 🚀 With the global demand for biostimulants soaring, we’re eager to partner with go-to-market collaborators to bring our groundbreaking solutions to farmers worldwide.

🌱 Exciting New Collaboration! 🌱 Thrilled to be partnering with Fera Science Ltd., ADAS, and the British Tomato Growers' Association to explore a new application for our T6P #biostimulant! Our goal? To enhance resilience against #climatechange while reducing the #carbonfootprint of UK food production. 🍅 The Challenge: Tomato plants thrive when day/night temperatures stay within 21°C-29.5°C and 18.5°C-21°C, respectively. Slight increases beyond these ranges can severely affect fruit set and yield. Temperatures are exceeding these bounds more frequently and for longer. 🔬 The Solution: We’re testing whether the science-based #technology we've licensed from @Rothamsted Research and @Oxford University can help tomato plants better withstand heat stress. This could be a game-changer to ensure the long-term viability of production. 👩🌾 Calling UK tomato growers: We value your expertise and insights! Follow our page for upcoming announcements on how you can contribute to this exciting project. Your input will be crucial in helping us shape the future of sustainable tomato production in the UK.
