AGRICELLS SA is a Belgian startup specializing in Greentech. Its activities focus on the research and development of biosolutions (biostimulants and biocontrol) based on bacterial microorganisms, their production, the development of specific formulations, regulatory approval, and commercialization for agricultural professionals. The targeted markets include large-scale industrial crops and greenhouse crops (corn, wheat, soy, rice, potatoes, cucurbits, tomatoes, etc.).
Founded in February 2020, AGRICELLS secured its first "Pre-Seed" funding round of €2.1M (from private and public Walloon investors), which financed a two-year Proof of Concept (2021-2022) aimed at developing two technological platforms for Biostimulation and Biocontrol. During these two years of POC, AGRICELLS, which owns proprietary microorganisms, established a complete development pipeline to bring a product from the laboratory stage to regulatory approval and commercialization through global B2B players.
In December 2022, AGRICELLS obtained regulatory approval for its first biostimulant products, based on its AG002/2 strain, and successfully completed a second funding round of over €3M, enabling the development of its new innovative strategy focused on combined biosolutions.
Through its network of partners, AGRICELLS has developed expertise in R&D engineering, formulation, bioprocessing, controlled environment and field testing, as well as regulatory dossier preparation. In the short term, AGRICELLS aims to leverage these strong industrial partnerships to accelerate time-to-market and, in the longer term, develop its own industrial capabilities.
