Elicit Plant is a biotechnology company addressing the physiological resilience of crops through natural, high-performance solutions tailored to agricultural practices.

Elicit Plant’s proprietary technology relies on an innovative plant-derived molecule that enhances plant metabolism, reducing water requirements, strengthening resistance to water stress and minimizing yield losses during water shortages. As the first company to validate this technology at a large scale in row crops such as maize, wheat and sunflowers, Elicit Plant has demonstrated significant advances in hydric stress management and in improving crop water use efficiency.

They don’t just invest in us; they invest in the transformation of agriculture toward resilience and resource efficiency.
