 Thank you everyone Good evening, and let's get started. Let's start From the problem we are solving for We should start from the problem we are solving for Yeah some technical issues You need technical issues in all presentations They would develop literally to your left up to the hill including every tree that is growing in your fields 2020 has been a hell of a year hasn't it but what happened is not a joke Still today a tiny inset can appear and throw entire continents into a food security crisis The Desert Locust invaded 25 countries and made over 1.3 billion dollars in damages And these is not a isolated case Take the Florida citrus production. It's been growing for 50 years until since 2005 volumes went down by 80 percent What happened a tiny insects invaded the country from Asia the citrus psyllid and killed most citrus trees another example since 2016 the full army worm has invaded 70 countries across Africa and Asia and Is now putting at risk the food security of over 600 million people Insects are the costliest animal group to society Every year there are much 25 percent of crops and they cause 20 percent of all infectious diseases In total they make 500 billion dollars of damages to society and what tools do we have to fight back? The same that we used a hundred years ago chemical insecticides, but with all these damages Why don't we just spray more? The problem is that insecticides have strong limitations When we use them we spray toxic substances over a certain area and we hope that the target insects pass by and die But many things can go wrong First insects can just escape Thriving and hiding in separate breeding sites waiting for the right moment to reinvade or they can develop resistance and survive Second insects are toxic for everyone affecting human health and the environment they get into soil and groundwater They leave residues on the food we eat they kill Beneficial insects such as bees at the detriment of pollination and biodiversity For all these reasons regulators are taking away more and more of these products from the market Which is great news for the environment without insecticides also the associated issues go away But it is a disaster for farmers and public health authorities who are left with less less and less tools to fight harmful insects This is why at biosenters we propose a radically new approach Instead of killing harmful insects with toxic substances we can use genetics to prevent their birth How we engineer rear and release mails with special traits and Then we use our technology leverages the most powerful and natural force in the world Love it is rooted in the nature of our mails to go and look for their life companions insects tend to mate only once and reproduce with them But we said our mails are special It means that they will only generate more special mails and so on and so forth in several cycle achieving extremely effective suppression Here here we see how this works in an insect population, which is initially in equilibrium Until we start releasing our special insects, which effectively block reproduction causing an extremely effective suppression and Another characteristic of our solution is that it is designed to disappear over time So if we stop releasing the wild population will recover basically it is reversible but where does all these come from we build on a Technology that has been invented in 2003 you might have heard about a technology that can eradicate malaria with the release of modified mosquitoes These is are the gene drives It took 20 years to develop the foundational technology at Imperial College London an effort that attracted over 170 million in grants from from some of the most important Charities and institutions in the world led by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Our co-founders were the first to develop a CRISPR gene drive and the first and only to develop a functioning suppression gene drive This is an unprecedented result that has attracted all this funding But also has been validated on the most important journals for biotech These is the reason why biosynthesis exist this platform can be applied to all insects and now we are extending it to Agriculture and public health beyond malaria The gene drive developed by our founders already showed incredible potential in its most powerful self-sustaining configuration It can achieve Incredible results. So here we see that with just one release of a few gene drive insects The the the frequency of the gene drive increases and we can crush entire population with just one release This is now the technological engine of one of the largest program to eradicate malaria from Africa at Biosynthesis we use the same ingredients which make our solution extremely effective in a recipe tailored for commercial use We already mentioned reversibility But we also made the technology scalable so we can easily produce our insects sex sorting is genetically embedded and Instead of shipping truckloads of insects adult insects. We can just come with an handful of eggs But how this translates into the economics in set is a treatment cost on average 10 to a hundred dollars per hectare per year for arable crops such as corn and soy and 10 to a hand 10 to a hundred 2,000 for fruit and vegetables our solutions are expected to cost only 50 dollars opening huge opportunities for cost-effective Inset control We are extending the technology quickly we just need three to four years before we can move to pilots and food roll out We are already working on two devastating insects. It is Egypt. I the vector of a the vector of Dengue and yellow fever and Zika and Rosofia Suzuki devastating past of cherries and berries But we can also target to some of the most devastating past of citrus tomato and Corn soy and wheat And we have the best team to make this happen It comprises the inventors of the technology are going to be the best genetic control scientists in the world Dedicated data science team and experts in business and value creation We also secured the support of an outstanding advisory board that includes technology pioneers regulators industry experts and even a novel laureate If you would like to know more about what we are doing to protect society from our full insects Please stop at our booth or drop us a line. Thank you very much
