Torgny Näsholm, founder of ArevoArevo is a Swedish science-driven biotech company founded on groundbreaking research into plant nutrient uptake by Professor Torgny Näsholm. At the core of Arevo's mission is the discovery that the amino acid arginine enhances plants' natural mechanisms for nutrient and water absorption, while also promoting soil micro-life. This results in plants with expanded root systems, leading to enhanced size, strength and resilience against environmental stresses such as drought. Arevo's patented precision nutrition products are tailored for forestry, horticulture and agriculture. They play a pivotal role in the transition to more environmentally sustainable practices by reducing our reliance on mineral fertilizers and by curbing nitrogen leakage. Operating from Umeå in northern Sweden, Arevo maintains a global presence and holds 58 patents. Notable investors in Arevo include Fort Knox, Navigare Ventures, Industrifonden, Stora Enso, Stiftelsen J C Kempes minne, Sveaskog, SweTree Technologies and SLU Holding.
