Tailor-made trials: Recognized experimental know-how in service of innovation
With the network offered by its 27 experimental sites spread across the country, Arvalis offers a unique dispositive for testing on principal field crops. From geographic positioning to defining protocols, choosing methods to interpreting results, tailor-made studies benefit from the expertise of our specialists and the know-how of our technical teams.
Evaluation of varieties and plant protection or nutrition products
The design of a new product, from its technical development to its commercial launch, must follow an increasingly long, complex and costly process. The multiplication of needs in experimental references to meet market segmentation and the increasing demand for quality trials are observed in all fields. With a unique methodological and experimental know-how in France, Arvalis offers a complete range of agronomic tests for fertilizers and phytopharmaceuticals, biostimulants, biocontrol products and for varietal characterization.
Phenofield®: the experimental platform specialized in the fight against climate change
Climate change is having an increasingly strong impact on agriculture in France and across the world. Among the solutions to combat its consequences, in particular increasing temperatures and decreasing water resources, to search for genes controlling tolerance to water stress in plants and the acceleration of varietal selection on these criteria are strategic.
The Phenofield® platform, developed and managed by Arvalis, is a field research tool that allows us to understand the development of crop yields in situations of water deficit and to identify the genes carrying resistance to this stress.
Expertise in the processing of digital information
Agriculture is a privileged field for digital applications and uses. For many years, Arvalis has been investing in the domain and developing recognized expertise in the fields of massive data processing, biological cycles modeling, sensors, decision tools, guidance systels, etc. By combining digital and agronomic know-how, Arvalis helps producers meet the challenges of precise, sustainable and environmentally friendly agriculture.
DIGIFERMES® at the heart of Arvalis’ digital system
Arvalis has specialized several of its experimental farms as Digifarms. True “playgrounds of innovation”, the Digifermes® are connected to farms that combine existing tools and techniques to ensure the digital management of productions. An incubator of open and collaborative ideas, they provide a relevant framework work for companies wishing to refine their concepts.
In the Digifermes®, Arvalis experts welcome you to:
The Grain Platform: a research tool dedicated to grain storage and preservation
At its Boigneville site, Arvalis has built an experimental platform dedicated to the grain industry. These specific facilities allow it to work on all aspects of storage: reception, grain treatment, cleaning, ventilation, drying, fumigation, sampling, etc. Used by Arvalis teams for carrying out experiments for the benefit of the entire industry, the Grain Platform can also be made available to an operator for a private trial.
The quality of the equipment makes it possible to imagine all types of services: test of materials, conditions of use for plate protection products, efficiency tests of alternative methods for fighting bio-aggressors, etc.
STRENGTHEN
YOUR CAPITAL
Unilis also offers equity and quasi-equity financing of up to €k 150.
This sum will strengthen the financial structure of the company, increasing your ability to receive further public or private funding. In addition, it will provide you the means to carry our new development projects or consolidate your achievements and thus better enhance your business profile during the next round of financing. The nature of the financing (convertible bonds, warrents, shares, equity loans) will be discussed and adapted to best meet the specific challenges of your business.
Strategic orientations, IP management, financing options, recruitment, go-to-market… for each of these challenges we will connect you to one or several of our mentors, committed, alongside Unilis, to your success.
