We’re excited to license the full suite of our proprietary Fulcrum™ Platform CRISPR tools to Solis Agrosciences for custom research and product development! “Pairwise’s novel tools and commercial rights have been used to create and deliver new products across many crops, including corn, wheat, soy, canola, bananas, coffee, berries, and cherries. In addition to the products we’ve created, we’re excited to now empower other organizations – like Solis and, by extension, their clients – to develop their own CRISPR-edited products that will deliver the enormous potential of the technology.” - Ian Miller, Pairwise Chief Development Officer

We are thrilled to share that we have developed the world's first seedless blackberry! “A key challenge in our food system is helping people eat more high-quality, healthy foods. As part of our drive to increase the consumption of fruit and vegetables, we’re working to provide consumers with new, highly nutritious food options with improved flavor and convenience,” said Tom Adams, Pairwise Co-Founder and CEO. “With a deep understanding of the plant genome, an accurate, efficient, and scalable process, and streamlined pathway to commercialization, we are not only creating new products with our proprietary CRISPR technology, we are creating a new era of innovation in agriculture.” In addition to achieving the first seedless trait in any caneberry, we’ve created thornless and compact traits in the same variety to deliver benefits for consumers, growers, and the environment all in one.

As the next phase of commercializing our leafy greens in North America, we’re excited to enter into a licensing agreement with Bayer to expand the CRISPR food market and carry our first consumer product forward! “We’re extremely proud to have introduced the first CRISPR food in North America last year, demonstrating our ability to deliver a unique product that people want to buy,” said Tom Adams, Pairwise Co-Founder and CEO. “Bayer is a strong partner for this licensing agreement with considerable market reach that we feel can extend the impact and success of our first consumer product widely into the marketplace.”

"With effective application of the technology, we can use CRISPR to deliver major societal and climate benefits through improvements in the food and agriculture sector." - Dr. Tom Adams. Click through to get more insights from the experts at SXSW's panel, 'The First CRISPR Foods Have Arrived'.

"We’re excited to shift our focus to the next projects in our pipeline, such as the innovations we’re working toward in seedless berries and pitless cherries that we believe will have a big impact on the category." - Dr. Tom Adams, CEO & Co-founder.
