🌍 Who’s behind the HelEx project? Discover our international alliance!
From France to Serbia, from Austria to Canada, the HelEx project brings together a unique network of 18 public and private partners across 9 countries, all committed to building climate-smart sunflowers and promoting biodiversity in agriculture.
Together, we blend genetics, agronomy, ecology, AI, and socio-economics to develop resilient crops that support both farmers and pollinators.
