What does Crea Nova Consultancy offer?

Crea Nova Consultancy gives advice in areas such as plant breeding, plant cell- and tissue culture, (biotech) research and product development in agriculture, forestry, ornamental and horticultural crops.

Crea Nova helps its customers in managing and implementing projects or inventions. We can help you to find the right technological tools to speed up your breeding programme and we will be able to guide you from the research phase all the way through product development and commercialisation.

In case you do not have the technical know-how, we will look for collaboration partners and establish those contacts for you worldwide. If you wish, we can also help you in designing and setting up a research laboratory in your own company.

We are specialized in technology transfer and have a global scientific and business network.

Crea Nova also offers to coach start-up companies and advise them on research planning, product and business development.
