Solynta is a Netherlands-based biotechnology and plant breeding company focused on developing hybrid true potato seed (HTPS) varieties. The company applies advanced breeding techniques to create potatoes that can be propagated from botanical seed rather than seed tubers.
Solynta’s work targets traits such as disease resistance, yield stability, and adaptability to diverse growing conditions. Using true seeds enables lighter, more efficient distribution and storage compared to tubers and supports scalable, reliable propagation for farmers and producers. The company’s technology is aimed at improving the efficiency and resilience of potato production across global markets.
EIB funds development of climate-resilient potato seeds, enhancing global food security and reducing reliance on traditional tubers.
