INBIOAR was established on the foundation of scientific expertise. Dr. Gustavo Sosa, a scientist, recognized the business potential that often arises from scientific discoveries. His research focused on allelochemical compounds, which are part of plants’ defense mechanisms. While this area of study may not seem commercially viable at first glance, a closer examination reveals that certain plants release chemicals that can kill or inhibit the growth of other plants. In practical terms, one plant acts as a bio-herbicide against another, presenting a viable business opportunity.
