Overview

Spun out of the University of Oxford in 2017, Moa Technology operates proprietary discovery platforms that have screened over 900,000 compounds and discovered more than 80 novel mode of action areas capable of breaking weed resistance. Several of its advanced programmes are now in their third year of international field trials, and in 2025 the company disclosed a new category of non-herbicidal products called Moa Amplifiers. Moa has established R&D collaborations with major industry partners including Nufarm, Gowan, Certis Belchim and Corteva Agriscience to progress commercial applications. The company plans to use its Series C proceeds and partner payments to push three lead programmes closer to commercialisation, expand its early-stage pipeline, and continue development of the Moa Amplifiers strategy. Its platform and commercial partnerships are positioned to support further industry deals and field deployment of its discoveries.
