Oxitec is a leading brand in the field of biological solutions for pest control. Powered by their innovative Friendly™ technology platform, Oxitec develops safe and sustainable methods to combat pests that spread diseases, damage crops, and harm livestock. Their technology offers a non-toxic and environmentally friendly approach to pest control, targeting specific species without causing harm to beneficial insects or the ecosystem.

The core of Oxitec's technology lies in the self-limiting gene, which disrupts the normal development and survival of pests. By releasing Friendly™ males into the environment, the number of damaging offspring is significantly reduced, leading to a decline in pest populations. The self-limiting gene can be adjusted to target females and can be regulated with an antidote for large-scale production.

Oxitec's technology is versatile and applicable to various pests, including disease-carrying mosquitoes and destructive caterpillars. Their products, such as Friendly™ Aedes and Friendly™ fall armyworm, have undergone comprehensive safety evaluations and received regulatory approvals. Partners and funders worldwide support Oxitec, and their scientific research is extensively documented in peer-reviewed journals.

With their precise, scalable, and flexible approach, Oxitec is revolutionizing pest control to protect public health, ensure food sustainability, and safeguard the environment
