Description
Corteva Agriscience’s Open Innovation program brings outside ideas and technologies together with its scientific capabilities to address challenges in agriculture. It invites proposals from the global innovation community in crop protection, traits, biologicals, plant breeding, enabling technologies, and digital solutions. Projects may test existing technologies in new applications or develop new approaches to longstanding problems.
Applicants can propose a collaboration or sponsored research project, submit a mature technology for potential licensing, or respond to a time-limited research challenge. Corteva tailors selected partnerships to the project; some combine research funding, Corteva capabilities, and an ongoing working relationship.
