Pioneering Precision Biostimulants for a Greener Future
New Zealand-based Metrovate has secured NZ$1 million from Sprout Agritech, with backing from Finistere Ventures, Fonterra, and OurCrowd, to develop machine-learning-driven biostimulants that supercharge target crops without harming surrounding flora and fauna.
Operating from a purpose-built lab at the University of Auckland’s Newmarket Innovation Precinct, Metrovate merges molecular biology and AI to create environmentally friendly, biodegradable solutions that reduce reliance on fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides.
For innovators seeking meaningful impact, Metrovate offers an exciting opportunity to transform agriculture. The startup’s founders are driven by a vision of scalable, sustainable food production, balancing crop resilience and yield with environmental stewardship.
With fresh capital fueling R&D and field trials, Metrovate’s tight-knit team is poised to reshape the future of farming, making this agritech venture an inspiring place to work, grow, and create lasting change.
