Attention innovators! Applications for the BASF Innovation Collaboration Day 2024 will open on 1^st May 2024. This is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with BASF experts and leverage our global resources to accelerate the development of your ground-breaking ideas and solutions.

We’re looking for game-changing innovative and sustainable solutions that have the potential to revolutionise the future of Enzyme and Agritech innovation.

If you have a breakthrough in Agritech for precision and digital applications, genetic editing, crop production, or plant health and resilience, we’d love to hear from you! To learn more about the BASF Innovation Collaboration Day 2024 and apply to join us in shaping a sustainable future for agriculture, please visit Innovation Collaboration Day (basf.com)

BASF in the UK wants to hear from start-ups and early-stage companies developing innovative and sustainable solutions.

Commercial Director BASF UK & Ireland, Darren Budd invites you to apply.

“Today more than ever before, we are looking for answers to problems like climate change, scarcity of resources and nature restoration. And given the transformative action that is needed to tackle these challenges, it is clear that the solutions will be found through partnership. 

As one of the most innovative chemical companies in the world, we know that chemistry will be key to this.

After the success of the 2023 Innovation Collaboration Day, we are once again seeking start up and scale up innovators who would be interested in discussing their technology with BASF and exploring opportunities for collaboration.”

Applying for BASF Innovation Collaboration Day 2024

Applications are invited for technologies in Enzyme Innovation and Agritech Innovation. 

Applications are open 1 May – 31 May 2024.

Agritech Innovation

We are actively seeking innovators in the agricultural sector across the UK & Ireland for potential collaboration, including start-ups, SMEs and R&D incubators within universities and research institutes focused on agriculture and the farmed environment. Specifically, we are interested in hearing from innovators working on the following areas of work:

• Precision and digital applications: innovative digital tools and applications that can be applied to various aspects of agriculture, production, soil management, and carbon soil management and sensor technologies that aid in monitoring biodiversity on agricultural land and measuring carbon levels in soils
• Genetic editing: explore techniques that target plant traits to help achieve national targets such as carbon sequestration, net-zero emissions, and optimized crop inputs
• Crop production: novel products that provide effective control of pests, weeds, and diseases, or support integrated pest management (IPM) approaches. Additionally optimised fertiliser utilisation technologies which help to reduce emissions and stabilise nutrients in soil and plants, minimising environmental impacts
• Plant health and resilience: synthetic, biological, and plant stimulant technologies based on novel approaches. This cluster excludes seaweed extract companies and aims to find innovative solutions for enhancing plant health and resilience

Apply by 31 May 2024 to take part in BASF Innovation Collaboration Day 2024.
