Plant-based Partnerships
Our world-class Fulcrum™ platform will accelerate innovation in your product portfolio, supply chain, or production system.

We have discovered that it takes only the smallest change to the tiniest of details to realize the epic potential of your business.
We call this The Seismic Tweak.
Through tiny alterations to a plant’s natural genetic sequence, we are able to deliver huge economic, social, and environmental change for people and businesses across the world.
And we do this faster and with more success than anyone else.
Let's Talk About Fulcrum
If your plant-based business or industry is ripe for transformation, then Pairwise, and our unique Fulcrum platform, is the right partner for you.

4. Adjust Plant Composition
like increasing protein or healthy fat content in ingredient crops
5. Create Natural Resistance
like protecting plants from insects and diseases
6. Adapt for Climate Change
like developing drought or heat resistant varieties
Case Study
A New Type of Corn with up to 20% More Kernel Row Numbers
The Problem
Farmers face increased climate and productivity pressures.
The Solution
- As part of our five-year collaboration with Bayer, we deployed the Fulcrum platform to develop a new corn phenotype.
- This new type of corn has dramatically increased kernel row numbers by up to 20%, with the potential to significantly increase yield, allowing farmers to grow more with less.
- This new type of corn was first field trialed in 2021 - making Pairwise one of the first companies in the world to field test a gene edited crop.
The Business Impact
This innovation is a powerful example of our Fulcrum platform and how The Seismic Tweak is solving intractable environmental and commercial challenges.
