RNAway

RNAway is an early-stage agricultural technology company that has developed a patented delivery platform to transport RNA molecules into plant cells via spray or irrigation. The technology protects RNA from environmental degradation and facilitates its systemic distribution through the plant's vascular system, enabling the knockdown of targeted pathogens or the modification of specific plant gene expression. By providing a non-genetically modified solution for crop protection and trait control, the platform allows agricultural providers to address previously untreatable viral infections and enhance agronomic characteristics.

The company's solution aims to solve the historical challenges of RNA stability and delivery in agriculture, providing a rapid, scalable, and cost-effective method for crop improvement. RNAway has demonstrated proof-of-concept efficacy in field and semi-commercial trials against pathogens in crops including grapes, tomatoes, and cucumbers. The company operates as a B2B technology provider, inviting agricultural partners to design specific RNA molecules for use with its proven delivery system to develop and commercialize new crop protection and enhancement products.
