Vylor Edge Launch Prompts Questions About Corteva Catalyst Future
Vylor Edge will partner with start-ups, entrepreneurs, universities and research organizations via equity investments and strategic partnerships, initially focusing on gene editing, advanced breeding, protein engineering, AI and digital agriculture. The launch raises questions about how it will coexist with Corteva’s Catalyst, as several priority areas overlap and Sam Eathington helped establish Catalyst before leading Vylor. Corteva declined further details ahead of the October 1 split.
