APOLO Biotech
Developing RNA Technology for Sustainable Agriculture
APOLO Biotech is a UK-based startup and co-founded by Matias Badano and Federico Ariel, focused on advancing biotechnology solutions aimed at improving health and sustainability. The startup develops RNA-based technologies to enhance the productivity of crops (mainly intensive crops) through an outstanding GMO-free approach. This method offers versatile solutions to boost yields while conserving and harnessing the wide variety of local landraces. APOLO’s technology enables the immunisation of crops against specific pathogens (fungi, insects, viruses) - essentially acting as a “vaccine” for plants. Committed to creating innovative products with a positive impact on both human health and the planet, APOLO Biotech specialises in cutting-edge biotechnologies for a more sustainable agricultural future.
