CDMO Services

Pioneering Patented Plant-Based Molecules at Industrial Scale

BioHarvest’s breakthrough Botanical Synthesis technology enables partnering companies to own patented plant-based small and complex molecules for the first time in history. Our B2B CDMO Division can now develop unique, protected compounds with unprecedented purity and consistency – creating powerful barriers to entry for partner products.

Our CDMO platform transforms traditional botanical production into a precise science. By optimizing plant cells in controlled environments, BioHarvest creates novel, patentable compounds that were previously impossible to produce at commercial scale. This isn’t just manufacturing – it’s the future of botanical intellectual property.

Partners gain exclusive rights to unique molecules through BioHarvest’s phase by phase development process and licensing model, enabling true product differentiation backed by patent protection. We provide a clear pathway from initial concept through commercial production, allowing partners to create their own proprietary botanical compounds.

BioHarvest Sciences Botanical Synthesis CDMO has the Potential to Become an Emerging Force in Plant-based Biologics

 

Tate & Lyle Expands Collaboration with BioHarvest to Accelerate Next-Generation Sweetener Innovation 

 

Expanded sweetener molecule development program aims to broaden access to plant‑based sweetening solutions tailored to diverse customer food and beverage categories.

London, UK and Vancouver, Canada – May 18th, 2026 – BioHarvest Sciences Inc. (Nasdaq: BHST), a leader in Botanical Synthesis™ technology and sustainable plant-based molecule development, today announced the expansion of its collaboration with Tate & Lyle PLC (Tate & Lyle), a global leader in ingredient solutions for healthier food and beverages, broadening the scope of their joint sweetener development program to include multiple plant‑based sweetener molecules.

The expanded collaboration builds on the initial agreement signed in 2024 and reflects strong technical progress to date, as well as Tate & Lyle’s ambition to equip food and beverage manufacturers with a flexible toolkit of sweetening solutions that can be tailored to different formulation needs.

Staged Gate Development Approach to Ensure Success

Development Timeline:     18-27 Months

Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) Costs: $2.5M – $3.0M, paid for by CDMO partner

  • Discovery Stage is now available for partners seeking to match plant compound candidates with their targeted indications
  • Stage 1 begins with customer initiation where specific plant and compounds are chosen; cell culture development and elicitation completed
  • Within 6-9 months customer can receive kilograms of molecules for development and clinical trials
  • Development completes with industrial production of chosen compound and royalty model put into place with customer (expected to be ~80% gross margins)
