About Us


We are a team of passionate individuals from 15 countries, developing ground-breaking biological technologies designed to sustainably, and safely, control insects that transmit diseases and destroy crops.

We do this work to improve lives and livelihoods around the world in the face of the growing threats that insects pose to human health and the global food supply.


Whilst what we do relates to developing insect control technologies, our organisation is about people and in its service to people.


We are strongly committed to a set of values and principles and foster a culture of trust, respect, creativity, and accountability.

  • Report frequently to the Field Operations Manager on progress throughout the day;
  • Care for vehicles, equipment, and materials;
