Who are we?
About us
STARFISH Bioscience is a biotechnology company specialized in restoring soil health through microbial science.
We are developing a cutting-edge biotechnology platform to gain unique insights into the soil microbiome and to create the next generation of bacteria-based solutions.
Our mission
Regenerating soil microbiomes to pass on to future generations a healthy, fertile, and sustainable agricultural heritage.
We develop precision biosolutions derived from soil bacteria selected for their impact on soil functioning.
Innovate to increase agricultural yields by regenerating the microbial functions essential to living soils.
Develop our AI-enhanced biotechnology platform, built on a unique understanding of microbial ecosystems.
Develop precision microorganism-based solutions to accelerate the ecological transition and adapt to climate change.
“STARFISH” is a reference to the first keystone species described in 1966 by American ecologist Robert Paine. He demonstrated that certain species play a disproportionate role in the balance of their ecosystem, such as the starfish, whose disappearance leads to a drastic drop in biodiversity.
STARFISH Bioscience builds on this concept by developing solutions targeting the soil’s keystone bacteria, which are essential for the health and resilience of agricultural ecosystems.
