Chairman Zaki Rakib stated: “We architected this new CDMO services division to complement our product division, which we believe will allow us to more efficiently monetize our Botanical Synthesis technology platform. The new business unit has the potential to turn plants into predictable and reliable sources of therapeutic molecules – not only because we will be developing them alongside industry customers, but also because each new molecular project will allow us to expand our IP library and predictive abilities more efficiently. I look forward to discussing our progress with our shareholders, as this is a truly momentous step in BioHarvest’s growth trajectory.”

CEO Ilan Sobel concluded: “Our initial two CDMO customers serve as strong validation of the industry need for solutions such as those offered by our Botanical Synthesis Process. As we move ahead, we will continue to aggressively push for additional agreements in the quarters to come. I would like to thank our whole science team – including Chairman Dr. Zaki Rakib, CTO Dr. Yochi Hagai and VP of R&D Dr. Malkit Azahi – for making this possible. Their experience, paired with the success of our own red grape cell complex molecule product, has proven instrumental in building the credibility needed to secure these initial customers.”
