BioLumic Unlocks Crop Potential: $27.8M Funding Fuels Light-Driven Innovation in Agriculture

We are thrilled to announce that BioLumic has successfully raised $27,800,000 in new funding—a significant milestone that will empower our mission to transform modern agriculture. As a pioneer in plant trait development, BioLumic is revolutionizing the way crops are grown by programming their genetic expression with light, unlocking natural potentials without chemicals or genetic modification. Our groundbreaking xTraits™ are at the heart of this innovation, activating previously untapped biological mechanisms in seeds and seedlings to enhance yield, vigor, nutrition, and overall plant health. This infusion of capital will accelerate the development and deployment of our proprietary solutions across more than a dozen key crops including corn, soybean, rice, and forage, enabling us to bring vital crop traits to market 90% faster and at a much lower cost than traditional methods. This funding round is more than just an investment in technology—it is a commitment to advancing agriculture, fostering crop equity, and building resilience in the face of global food security challenges. The support we have received allows us to further our research, scale our operations, and expand our impact along the agricultural value chain, all while minimizing environmental impact. At BioLumic, we are deeply dedicated to cultivating a future where innovation leads to sustainable farming practices, improved nutrition, and stronger communities. We look forward to leveraging this new capital to continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in plant science and to drive a positive transformation in the agricultural industry worldwide.
