Interface between market and research

You understand our services and can clearly communicate their economic benefits. Not as a scientist, but as someone who translates complex research into concrete applications. You build relationships with customers, tap into new segments and ensure that our services are used where they are needed. You will work closely with the management and the scientific team and play an active role in developing the commercial strategy.

The ground beneath our feet is finally getting the attention it needs

The EU Restoration Act has been in force since August 2024. The „Directive on Corporate Sustainability Reporting“ obliges many companies to also report on biodiversity and disclose the relevant data. At the same time, the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 envisages investing over 20 billion euros annually in the protection and restoration of ecosystems. This gives rise to a clear need: reliable, measurable evidence of the condition of soils, water bodies and ecosystems.

Our service

Fungi are the oldest architects of our ecosystems. We make them visible.

More organisms live in a handful of soil than there are people on earth. Fungi, bacteria and other microorganisms form the basis for stable ecosystems by fixing carbon, circulating nutrients and enabling plant growth. We use DNA metabarcoding to analyse the microbial composition of soil samples: which organisms are present, in what relative quantities and how these change over time. The result is a standardised, reliable data basis that makes ecological developments visible and enables well-founded decisions to be made in practice and regulation.

From viticulture and construction projects to protected areas, new requirements and funding opportunities are emerging in the area of soil biodiversity. At the same time, there is often a lack of comparable data. This is exactly where we come in.
