• Strategic partnerships with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies
• Funding opportunities and investor connections

Our Mission in Focus

At Yngvi Bio, we are developing the next generation of green protection methods for agriculture. Our revolutionary protein-based technology is more specific than conventional chemical tools, and it doesn't affect beneficial insects or have harmful effects on humans and the environment.

The Challenge We're Addressing

Up to 50% of global food production is lost to pests and disease annually, according to CropLife Europe. This staggering statistic highlights the urgent need for innovative, effective, and sustainable pest control solutions.

Traditional chemical pesticides are failing as they have devastating impacts on:

• Ecosystems and biodiversity
• Human health
• Beneficial insects like bees
• Soil and water quality

Our Revolutionary Approach

Our protein-based platform technology represents a paradigm shift in pest control:

Nature-Inspired Innovation

We leverage protein machines - nature's own nanotechnology found in bacteria - to deliver targeted pest control solutions with unprecedented precision.

Key Advantages

• Species-specific targeting - affects only harmful pests
• Biodegradable and environmentally safe
• No harmful residues in soil or water
• Preserves beneficial insects and pollinators
• Field-stable formulations that work in real agricultural conditions

The Team Behind the Innovation

Our founding team brings together world-class expertise:

• Kenneth Veland Halberg, Ph.D. - Co-founder & CSO, Associate Professor at University of Copenhagen
• Eva Maria Rebrova, Ph.D. - Co-founder & CTO, Leading expert in protein structure and drug delivery
• Icíar de la Fuente, M.Sc. - Business Developer, Deep tech commercialization specialist
• Muhammad Tayyib Naseem, Ph.D. - Insect Specialist, Molecular biologist and entomology expert

Looking Forward

Being part of BII Venture Lab Cohort #8 represents more than just an accelerator program - it's validation of our vision and technology by one of Europe's leading life sciences innovation hubs.

What's Next?

• Advancing our proof of concept for protein-based delivery systems
• Field testing preparations in key agricultural markets
• Strategic partnerships with industry leaders
• Scaling our production capabilities
• Regulatory pathway development

A Heartfelt Thank You

A heartfelt thank you to BioInnovation Institute for believing in our vision and giving us the platform to transform crop protection. We're excited to contribute to the thriving BII community and can't wait to collaborate, innovate, and grow!

The Field is Set — Watch This Space! 🌱
