Qarbotech is a Malaysian-based agritech startup on a mission to revolutionise agriculture through innovative nanotechnology, promote sustainable farming practices, combat climate change and work towards eliminating world hunger. The company was co-founded in 2018 by Chor Chee Hoe, Prof Suraya Abdul Rashid and Amirul Merican, who are fully committed to their cause.
The companyâs flagship product, QarboGrow, is the worldâs first patented photosynthesis enhancement technology. With its capacity to increase crop yields by up to 20 per cent, the biocompatible product increases farming efficiency with quicker turnaround times and improved produce quality. Depending on the crops and other factors, QarboGrow can also increase yields by up to 60 per cent, bringing society closer to food security.
Chor, who is the CEO of Qarbotech, admits his path into the agritech industry wasnât linear, âbut sustainability and making a tangible impact on communities have always been close to my heart.â With 12 years of experience in the aviation industry, Chor honed a strong foundation in engineering and technology. Still, his passion for âinnovation with purposeâ ultimately led to Qarbotechâs founding. âThe name âQarbotechâ reflects our commitment to carbon-based technologies,â Chor explains.
As an asthmatic child, the importance of clean air was not lost on Chor, who recalls meeting Prof Suraya as life-changing. âProf Suraya had developed a technology that could enhance plantsâ ability to release more oxygen and contribute to cleaner air. I felt a personal connection [to her work]âit was almost like a calling,â Chor says.
