About us
Who We Are
Founded in Belgium in 2014 by Guillaume Wegria, Dr. Juan Carlos Cabrera, and Bénédicte O’Sullivan—a team of visionary bio-entrepreneurs—Fyteko pursues a philosophy of sustainable agricultural innovation.
We are creating agricultural biomolecules to protect and enhance the world’s crops, advancing the shift towards sustainable agriculture.
By combining the power of nature with science, we use our bio-based technology platform to develop a pipeline of new agricultural products. From biostimulants and herbicide bioenhancers to biocontrol solutions, our proprietary discoveries meet the urgent need for sustainable crop production.
Our diverse, multidisciplinary team brings expertise across advanced research, regulatory compliance, and product commercialization—driving a smarter future for agriculture.

Our DNA
Mission
We believe in a more sustainable agriculture
We see a future where farmers can feed a growing population by using safe and sustainable inputs.
Vision
We are explorers and disruptors
By pushing boundaries and challenging conventions, we create bio-based inputs for sustainable agriculture.
Driven by Sustainability
At Fyteko, sustainability is at the root of everything we do. Our commitment starts with biobased products and green chemistry: our biostimulants and crop protection solutions are developed using eco-friendly processes and plant-based ingredients. Each product is designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing agricultural resilience.
Beyond our products, we cultivate a workplace culture rooted in environmental responsibility and team well-being, fostering innovation that supports a healthier planet. Since early 2025, we have established an Impact Committee with clear, diversified ESG objectives. This structured approach strengthens our mission to drive innovation that delivers lasting, positive change.
As we face the growing challenges of climate change, Fyteko stands dedicated to empowering farmers with solutions that promote sustainable agriculture, protect biodiversity, and build long-term climate resilience.
We believe that sustainable innovation today is the key to a thriving agriculture tomorrow.
Our values
Nature inspires us
If you know where to look, nature often has a solution of its own. Simple, but clever. Nature is rewriting the rules of crop protection – helping us to replace conventional chemicals with powerful, natural alternatives.
We work hard to protect nature
Agriculture has damaged the environment. We are actively seeking ways to change that – using our business to take a leadership role in identifying and validating better, more sustainable agricultural practices.
We are human
People turn ideas into reality and give meaning to bold visions. That’s why we believe in genuine relationships, mutual respect and human rights. We build trust through collaboration and recognise every contribution along the way.
We are scientists
We’re not just guided by science; we create the science. Our proprietary research develops and refines our products to deliver tangible, real-world benefits – clearly defined and fully proven.
