Company Description

EQUInom is a seed breeding and technology company

Equinom is a seed-breeding technology company, focused on creating superior food ingredients using precision breeding methods. Utilizing DNA sequencing, big data processing and proprietary algorithms, we enhance the nutritional values of grains and develop new varieties that represent the best of what nature has to offer. Our technology makes our breeding process 10-times more accurate than traditional methods, and cuts time-to-market by half. As a result, we are transforming the economics of mid-size market crops by opening them up to the benefits of advanced breeding technologies and the profits associated with implementing them. We partner with companies from the entire food ingredients supply chain, to develop varieties to exact specifications. Equinom is currently focused in two major areas: Sesame, where we have revolutionized the market by developing superior-quality, high-yield varieties that can be harvested mechanically. Protein, where we are focused on developing high-yield legume varieties, with protein levels that are 40% higher than what is commercially available today. With these, we address the global demand for sustainable sources of protein, while offering protein extractors huge financial benefits.
