Iden Biotechnology
Iden Biotechnology is the result of the strong belief from a handful of researchers that scientific research effort should become a market reality. Aware of the long distance and large differences between the research world and the business community, the founders saw the need for an intermediary piece that could fill the gap and act as a translator in both directions.Iden Biotechnology was created in 2005 to develop and transfer high-quality technology to the market working from an agrobiotechnological approach. The developed processes can be implemented worldwide.

Who We Are
IDEN BIOTECHNOLOGY
As a society we face big challenges linked to the world population increase. Food demand is a challenge that has to be addressed by sustainable crop yield increase worldwide.
Biotechnology is a key tool for developing successful solutions and to solve social needs, such as increasing food supply for a growing population.
IDEN is developing biotechnological products and integrated solutions for crop yield and quality enhancement, including agrobiological products, like plant biostimulants and biopesticides, and more productive crop varieties. Our products are part of the general industry of farm inputs and, within that, the broad sectors of seeds and crop protection.
IDEN’s strategy includes performing complete product development from laboratory work, greenhouse evaluations and field trials, including intellectual property, regulatory and commercialization (self-commercialization or with partnering strategies) activities.
Organization
IDEN Biotechnology relies on diverse, creative, competitive, innovative, committed and collaborative staff willing to create value and foster innovation. Professional profiles include business and R&D profiles with extensive experience and capabilities:
Our Capabilities
Great people make great companies. Our people are IDEN’s most valuable asset. Our team is composed of complementary and synergistic profiles of doctoral and graduate level skills including biologists, biochemists and agronomists with technical, business and IP management profiles.
This team provides vast scientific and market knowledge about the seed and agrochemical sectors, including agrobiologicals, as well as great experience on innovative technologies and product development for crop improvement based on solid plant science, biotechnology and microbiology knowledge.
We are a young and dynamic team passionate about knowhow and product development. We believe in biotechnology as a key tool for today’s and tomorrow’s agrifood challenges.
Infrastructure
Daily activity at our facilities is aimed at the complete development and validation of technologies and products from the lab to the field. The laboratory includes facilities and equipment to develop and test both new agrobiological products and new crop varieties at in vitro and growth chamber scale including biochemical and molecular analysis. To complete product development and validation, our R&D greenhouse and field capacities (our own and through expert collaborative partners) allow product validation in industrial conditions for many crops of major agronomic interest.
Activity
Iden works towards satisfying the need of a growing world population providing integrated solutions for increasing crop yield in a sustainable manner.
The global food production challenge will be met through the combination and integrated use of a toolbox of current and future agribiotech technologies.
Iden´s value proposition is based on increasing crop yield while reducing the impact of crop protection. Iden has proprietary, yield enhancing technologies and products for which POC is obtained in the field in commercially relevant crops. It has a portfolio of product candidates in two distinct business areas.
The development of our products for crop yield enhancement is based on the following key concepts:
- Research is the core of our innovative and high quality technology and product development to solve food production and environmental challenges.
- Our intellectual property supports our product development and ensures IDEN’s competitiveness and value on the global market.
- Market oriented activity to develop solutions for our clients – the seed and crop protection industry.
At IDEN we develop products to provide integrated and synergistic solutions for crop yield increase: products for external application that drive better plant growth and development based on different modes of action - Agrobiologicals - and direct improvement of the crops through the development of gene traits that guarantee yield increase, higher quality or stress tolerance - Crop Improvement.
AGROBIOLOGICAL PRODUCTS:
Our portfolio comprises bioestimulant products that reinforce intrinsic crop capabilities to grow and developl, and biopesticides to protect the crop against harmful organisms. Our innovative products based on fermentation extracts are derived from a differential approach in relation to the microbial origin source and final product features. Our aim is to exploit the intrinsic capacity of microorganisms to produce biostimulant and/or biopesticide.
CROP IMPROVEMENT PRODUCTS:
Exploiting the natural capacity of plants, we identify gene traits linked with interesting plant features to develop new crop varieties with higher yield, enhanced quality parameters and/or abiotic stress resistance.
Plant breeding technologies are applied to some of the global main crops like corn, wheat, potato and barley adapting the use of traits to the client and market needs.
