Projini Agchem is an Israeli agritech company that develops novel, targeted pesticides using an AI-driven computational platform. It focuses on protein-protein interactions to create safe, effective crop protection solutions for global markets.
Projini Agchem Ltd. is an agricultural biotechnology company that specializes in the discovery and development of novel pesticide solutions. Founded in 2019 and based in Israel, the company utilizes a proprietary, AI-driven computational and biophysical platform to identify and design small molecules that target protein-protein interactions (PPI) in pests. By focusing on these specific molecular targets, the company aims to overcome widespread issues of pest resistance and environmental safety associated with traditional, randomly discovered pesticides, while applying principles from personalized medicine to agricultural crop protection.
The company’s primary objective is to provide innovative, targeted, and sustainable pest control products to the agricultural industry, including licensing its novel active ingredients to global AgChem corporations. By systematically scanning large libraries of substances, their discovery engine identifies molecules capable of precise action on weeds, fungi, and other agricultural pests. Supported by investors such as the Bayer-Trendlines Ag Innovation Fund, the company is positioning itself to introduce more effective and environmentally focused crop protection methods to the market.
