Unique Selling Points
- Glaia’s revolutionary technology developed at the University of Bristol allows plants to harvest light more efficiently and facilitates the processes involved in biomass production resulting in increased crop yields.
- The sugar-dots are a new type of yield enhancers, a synthetic analogue of a naturally-occurring carbon-based nano-material capable of increasing photosynthetic efficiency and thereby increasing crop yields.
- The sugar-dots are non-toxic, benign to the environment and water soluble, and can be applied directly to the soil, as part of irrigation systems, or via foliar application, which makes them completely compatible with current farming practices.
Achievements
In March 2022, Glaia received £1M investment for ground-breaking carbon-based technology that reduces farming’s climate footprint.
