mission

At Biocentis, our mission is clear: revolutionize how we control harmful insects.

We leverage the latest advancements in genome engineering, artificial intelligence, and a unique technological platform to develop insect control solutions that are highly effective, environmentally friendly, and sustainable.

Agricultural pests pose a huge threat to food security worldwide.

That’s where we step in

Our next-generation genetic control technology addresses the need for exceptionally effective and sustainable insect control tools.

We engineer insects carrying genetic traits designed to prevent the targeted insect population from reproducing in large numbers, while reducing the use of chemical insecticides to further safeguard the environment.

We want to empower communities to combat disease-carrying insect vectors, protect crops and safeguard biodiversity.

We strive for a more sustainable world, free from vector-borne disease, and able to feed a growing population.
