Novel robotics for embryo selection and germination.
Commercialization preparations are in progress!
The projects’s main actions
The commercialization of Norway spruce embryo somatic embryogenesis and germination robotics is being prepared for. The stages of somatic embryogenesis are being scaled and optimized through applied research. The use of developed robotics and artificial intelligence in processing germinated embryos is under study. Several potential business growth paths are being explored: including the production of somatic embryogenesis-generated plants, the development of robotics, and global licensing the production technology.

Trees are essential to life, but they face challenges in climate change. Tree breeding results in improved growth, quality, and survival of trees in various growing conditions.
The goal is to prepare for the commercialization of Norway spruce somatic embryogenesis and embryo germination robotics. The viability and quality of forest seedlings are improved by multiplying selected tree seed embryos. Robot and AI-guided embryo handling enable cost-effective production of elite seedlings.
The technology and its scalability ensure faster tree breeding results and more efficient use of human resources. The developed robotics can be easily integrated into existing systems.
