Climate-smart plant breeding
Company description
Computomics applies machine learning to genomic, environmental and field-trial data to help breeders understand and predict how crops will perform under changing conditions. Its platform spans gene discovery, trait prediction and variety selection, supporting breeders as they adapt breeding programs to a shifting climate.
Why we invested
Breeding cycles are long, and varieties selected under yesterday's climate are increasingly mismatched to tomorrow's. Computomics gives breeders a faster, data-driven way to select climate-resilient varieties, where its impact grows in step with commercial success: better predictions mean fewer wasted seasons and more resilient businesses. The company has a strong scientific team and a proven track record across many breeding projects.
