With drought, flooding, and extreme heat disrupting agriculture worldwide, the world needs crops that can withstand the impacts of climate change. That’s where Phytoform comes in. Phytoform is operating at the edge of biotechnology, AI, and agriculture, developing novel crop genetics to create more climate resilient plants.
As a winner of the Compute for Climate Fellowship, Phytoform will use the program to enhance the accuracy of CRE.AI.TIVE™, their unique AI-powered pipeline that can draw novel insights from plant genomics, evolve new crop characteristics, and make plants more resilient. The proof of concept will help Phytoform find new research and development solutions for more climate resilient seeds at scale.
“The Compute for Climate Fellowship is absolutely crucial for Phytoform’s mission of improving sustainability in agriculture,” said Nicolas Kral, CTO of Phytoform. “With the help from AWS Startup and IRCAI we were able to really accelerate our solution to deploy a unique approach to enhance R&D and secure the food of tomorrow.”

What is the Compute for Climate Fellowship?
The Compute for Climate Fellowship is a global program run by the International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI), an organization under the auspices of UNESCO, and Amazon Web Services Startup (AWS).
It supports startups applying advanced cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) to create new solutions that address the climate crisis. The Compute for Climate Fellowship will select innovative ideas and fully fund the design and building of their proof of concepts.
