Smart farming and bio-engineering specialist Pinnacle Food Group Limited (Nasdaq: PFAI) has announced a strategic research collaboration with Canadian biotechnology firm Bioboost Synbio Consulting Inc.
The agreement, executed through the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Pinnacle Food AgTech HK Limited, is designed to bolster Pinnacle’s capabilities in the high-growth fields of precision fermentation and synthetic biology.
Recombinant Human Lactoferrin (rhLF)
A primary objective of the partnership is to advance research applications related to recombinant human lactoferrin (rhLF).
Lactoferrin is a naturally occurring protein found in human milk, widely recognised for its potent applications in health, infant nutrition, and functional food development. By leveraging precision fermentation, the companies aim to explore sustainable methods for producing this high-value protein, which is increasingly sought after in the functional ingredients market.
Scope of Collaboration
Beyond specific protein research, the agreement establishes a broader framework for technical development. The Vancouver-based Bioboost Synbio Consulting will provide:
Technical Consulting: Expert guidance on bio-engineering processes.
Ecosystem Scouting: Identifying emerging technologies and partners within the biotech landscape.
Feasibility Studies: Evaluating new research directions in agricultural technology and food science.
The initiative aligns with Pinnacle’s ongoing strategy to transition from traditional "smart farming" into advanced biology-enabled platforms that support efficient food systems.
Jiulong You, Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Food Group Limited, commented on the strategic direction:
"This collaboration represents an important step in strengthening our research capabilities in precision fermentation and advanced biotechnology. By working with experienced research partners, we aim to explore the technical potential of innovative bioproducts and deepen our understanding of how emerging technologies can support the future of agriculture, food, and nutrition."
