“I am thrilled for this great recognition, not only for myself but for all the team members at Genective,” said Qiaoni Linda Jing. “Three years ago, I embarked on a journey to reestablish Genective in the U.S. Midwest, putting us at the heart of one of the most vibrant Ag Tech innovation communities in the world.”
“Genective has been on a tremendous growth trajectory over the past three years, despite the challenges of COVID-19. Our team continues to live and breathe our mission of providing novel and sustainable biotech solutions to farmers across the globe,” said Jing.
