拜耳在新孵化空间与大萨克拉门托合作

West Sacramento, CA — Bayer officially announced today the newest addition to its network of startup incubators, the Crop Science CoLaborator. Located within Bayer’s West Sacramento Innovation Hub, the CoLaborator will serve as a new home for biotech startups in the heart of Northern California’s ag innovation corridor.

Innovation is integral to Bayer’s culture and strategy not just through strengthening internal research and development capabilities, but also by investing in and expanding external collaborations. This approach promotes creativity, willingness to experiment and collaboration with the global community of scientists and entrepreneurs.

“Our collective knowledge is more powerful than that of any single entity. And while I’m extremely proud of the incredible cutting-edge research that takes place within our Bayer laboratories, I’m just as proud of our efforts to collaborate with others in our constant pursuit to bring forward tools to help growers sustainably grow a safe, affordable and abundant food supply,” said Adrian Percy, Global Head of R&D, Crop Science, a division of Bayer. “I believe that our internal and external innovation efforts use the strengths of all parties and am confident that the outcomes will benefit farmers worldwide.”

To expand its innovation ecosystem within the Sacramento region and beyond, Bayer is collaborating with the Greater Sacramento Economic Council (GSEC) to help identify world-class startups across the agtech space. GSEC will provide Bayer with access to companies as prospective tenants in the CoLaborator to develop and invest in cutting-edge technology.

“Sacramento’s connection to the Bay Area and industry capabilities make our region the global option for food and agtech companies to thrive,” said Greater Sacramento Economic Council CEO Barry Broome. “The CoLaborator is a testament to our region’s innovation capacity and robust industry partnerships.”

拜耳还与加利福尼亚大学戴维斯建立了战略合作关系, 以促进萨克拉门托地区的创新和经济发展, 为大学附属的初创企业提供专门的设施支持, 特别是那些在农业和与食品有关的技术领域。作为协议的一部分, 拜耳加入了大学的分布式研究孵化和风险引擎 (驱动tm) 启动孵化器网络。该驱动网络是 UC 戴维斯风险投资公司提供的资源平台的一部分, 以支持将大学的研究和新技术成功地翻译成新的商业企业。风险催化剂是加州大学戴维斯分校技术管理和公司关系部的一部分。

"与拜耳合作为我们的校园企业家提供了另一项巨大的资源, 并进一步加强了不断增长的区域创新生态系统," Dushyant Pathak 说, 风险催化剂的副校长兼执行董事在加州大学戴维斯分校"这种关系的价值远远超出了满足对适当设施的需要, 它为企业家创造了一个机会, 让创业者与其他专家在他们的领域内外进行接触, 并建立对他们的成功至关重要的关系."

The 3,000 square-foot CoLaborator is now available for agtech startups to quickly begin putting their ideas to the test. San Francisco-bred Biome Makers, Inc., a rising startup in the field of microbiomes, is the CoLaborator’s first tenant.

另一个在 CoLaborator 占据空间的初创企业是卓恩生物, 一个令人振奋的新公司, 它结合了农作物科学的农业和微生物专长, 拜耳的一个分部, 用合成生物学技术和银杏 Bioworks 的专门知识来发现和开发新的微生物解决方案, 为农业的一些最大的挑战, 包括氮固定的非豆科作物。
