Strategic Collaborations

Let's Build the Future of Agriculture—Together

At MaxEditas, we believe that bold innovation is born from shared vision and real collaboration. Our mission to transform specialty crop agriculture through precision gene editing is not something we do alone—it grows through partnerships with those who dare to think differently: visionary companies, institutions, and growers ready to lead.

Our Collaboration Models

We offer two tailored frameworks for strategic partnerships, designed to fit your goals and scale of ambition:

Co-Development Projects

A flexible, crop- and trait-focused collaboration model designed for organizations seeking to take their first step into CRISPR-enabled innovation—with reduced risk and accelerated results.
This structure is ideal for partners aiming to develop improved crops using gene editing technologies without incurring the full costs of commercial IP access or building in-house technical capacity. It serves as a strategic de-risking approach to innovation.

Key Features:
– Early proof-of-concept
– Shared milestones
– Accelerated trait development

Ideal for:
Seed companies, food and biotech firms of all sizes, private foundations, and public-private consortia pursuing targeted agricultural innovations.

What MaxEditas brings:
Advanced CRISPR technology, trait discovery, plant transformation expertise, and end-to-end implementation support for commercial outcomes.

Joint Ventures

A strategic, long-term partnership model built for global impact and regional scalability.
This approach involves creating a jointly owned legal entity (SPV) to develop, own, and commercialize gene-edited crop varieties. Rights are structured around specific crops, regions, or market segments to ensure focus and exclusivity.

What partners contribute:
Regional market access, local networks, and commercialization capabilities essential to the SPV’s success.

What MaxEditas brings:
Its proprietary CropEditas™ platform, technical leadership in CRISPR gene editing, and end-to-end development expertise.

Key Features:
– Shared equity and governance
– Defined exclusivity by crop, trait, or region
– Scalable vehicle for public-private and cross-border partnerships

Ideal for:
Multinational agri-producers, regional investment funds, and government-backed innovation initiatives.
