Rooted in
plant cells.
Driven by innovation.
For many years, our co-founders independently explored different aspects of plant cell biology, from tissue culture to genetic engineering and synthetic biology. Each of them carried a shared belief: that plant cells hold untapped potential to solve some of the biggest challenges across food, health, and sustainability.
In 2019, during a casual conversation, they realized that by combining their expertise, they could create something bigger — a platform capable of developing high-performance plant cell lines to replace animal-derived, low-yield, or unsustainable ingredients.
That idea became ERGO in 2020, with the support of CITES, and a bold mission: to unlock the full potential of plant cell technology to power the next generation of sustainable ingredients — for food, personal care, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.
By 2023, ERGO had evolved into a vibrant team of scientists, engineers, and creators driven by curiosity and purpose. Today, we continue to grow — shaping a world where biotechnology and plant science can work hand in hand to deliver powerful, scalable solutions for people and the planet.
We invite you to be part of this journey. Together, we can design the future — one cell at a time.
