OptiCept Technologies signs another cooperation agreement with a leading international company. This is in line with the previously stated strategy of collaborating with established players to launch the technology ahead of commercialization.

The purpose of the agreement is to evaluate OptiCept's vacuum impregnation technology, OptiBoost, to improve the operational efficiency of ornamental plants vegetative propagation.

Florensis was founded in 1941 and today has production and breeding sites in the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, Kenya, and Ethiopia. With more than 2,500 employees, Florensis annually supplies a product range of 4,000 plant varieties to 8,000 professional growers in 50 countries.
