Enko applies pharmaceutical-style discovery methods, DNA-encoded libraries and advanced computation to develop targeted crop-protection products for major pests and diseases.

A partnership built for impact

Our investment helps accelerate a new generation of safer, more sustainable crop-protection solutions, giving farmers effective tools against resistance and emerging threats while reducing environmental impact.

“Farmers need new tools to protect crops as resistance, regulation, and climate pressure make existing solutions less effective. Enko brings a fundamentally different discovery model to crop protection, combining approaches from pharma with AI and large-scale molecular screening. We believe this can help accelerate safer and more sustainable innovation in agriculture.”
