Living Models

Living Models helps seed companies develop more resilient plant varieties using AI.

Cyril Véran and Léonard Strouk, co-founders of Living Models, an AgTech startup specializing in AI-powered plant engineering for food security

Today, plant varieties, developed for a climate that no longer exists, are struggling to adapt — and traditional plant breeding methods are too slow to keep pace with change. Living Models develops artificial intelligence models that enable to rationally engineer plants : adding new resistance traits without altering existing ones, accelerating the development of sustainable plant-derived medicines, and contributing to global food security. A major breakthrough for seed companies – and for the planet.

The next step

The team is focusing its efforts on two critical technical areas: training AI models and developing a pilot. A foundational phase that will determine Living Models' ability to demonstrate its technology at scale to seed companies.
