QuberTech develops an engineering biology platform to produce high-quality natural rubber from specially engineered high-yield dandelions grown in controlled environments. The approach aims to provide a faster, localised alternative to tropical rubber trees and to reduce dependence on imported rubber vulnerable to climate, disease and geopolitical risks. In addition to rubber, the platform can generate other high-value bio-based compounds with applications across food, cosmetics, sustainable packaging and advanced biomaterials. The company has received support from Defra’s Farming Innovation Programme delivered with Innovate UK and recently secured combined grant and equity financing to advance R&D and pilot-scale validation. QuberTech plans to expand its team and scale commercial operations as it progresses toward deployment.
