(ISC) pre-seed financing round, to fund the discovery, development and deployment of biological solutions to target invasive alien species.

The investment will fund the development of products for control of 6 target groups of invasive plants and animals: Zebra and Quagga Mussels, Asian Carp, Toxic Algae, Aquatic Weeds, Agricultural and Forestry Weeds and Forest Pests (e.g. bark beetles, emerald ash and other borers, and hemlock wooly adelgid).
