Innovating a Sustainable Path for a Better Future

The FGN Group is a leader in plant genetic research and development for global biofuel, forestry and agricultural markets. The Group was formed by the merge of FGN Plc with CBD Technologies and has integrated the abiotic stress platform with the yield enhancement and processability technology from these entities into a powerful new package for the enhancement of biofuel, forestry and agricultural crops. It collaborates with renowned institutional partners worldwide and has thus been able to take an innovative and multi-faceted approach to significantly improve agronomic traits of value in plants. The FGN Group has strategic agreements with leading commercial companies in the forestry and agricultural sectors around the world and continues to actively partner its technologies. The Group has a strong and growing intellectual property portfolio that addresses environmental stresses in plants such as salinity, drought, cold, and heat and protects its developments on the modification of plant cell walls to enhance plant growth rates, yield and processability of plant fiber. FuturaGene technologies, by allowing plants to grow on marginal lands and to produce more usable fiber for industry, are a major contributor to ensuring food security and enhancing the sustainability of agriculture, forest product and biofuel production.
