Computomics develops machine-learning models that combine genomic data with environmental information—such as temperature, rainfall, soil conditions—and field trial measurements to predict genotype performance in specific environments. Its commercial offerings include the ×SeedScore platform for large-scale breeding programmes as well as tools like CropCompass, BreedScope, Pantograph, MORPHEUS and MEGAN7 for climate-smart breeding, omics analysis and microbiome study. The company works with commercial breeders across field crops, forage crops, vegetables and specialty crops to identify varieties resilient to hotter, drier conditions and stable across environments. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Tübingen, Computomics aims to accelerate breeder decisions that would otherwise take years of field testing. The recent Series B financing is intended to support expansion of the platform into additional commercial breeding programmes.
