Pivot Bio Takes Center Stage at Climate Week NYC 2025

From September 22 to 24, 2025, Pivot Bio, a leader in agtech innovation, will significantly contribute to Climate Week in New York City. With CEO Chris Abbott at the helm, the company's participation underscores the essential role agriculture plays in developing cost-effective climate solutions and fostering economic resilience in rural areas.

Highlighting Growth in Sustainable Practices

A focal point for Abbott will be the ringing of the Nasdaq Opening Bell on September 22, symbolizing the importance of sustainable innovation in today's capital markets. Following this significant moment, he will join a panel discussion titled The Future of Planetary Health Investing for Impact, coordinated by Jason Knauf, CEO of The Earthshot Prize. This session will feature other industry leaders such as Anders Spohr from Novo Holdings and Laura Turner Seydel from the Turner Foundation, to discuss impactful agricultural practices.

Throughout Climate Week, Abbott will partake in additional discussions and investor dialogues, emphasizing how Pivot Bio is at the intersection of agriculture, business, and climate initiatives. In an era where climate change is an ever-growing concern, the commitment of businesses to innovate sustainably is vital.

Revolutionizing Nitrogen Fixation in Agriculture

Fast Company recognized Pivot Bio as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies, and TIME has included its projects among the Best Inventions for three consecutive years. Their groundbreaking microbial nitrogen-fixing technologies are revolutionizing agriculture by providing farmers with sustainable options. Their products are available across the United States, with plans to expand into Brazil and notable efforts to support smallholder farms in Kenya. By providing a reliable nitrogen source directly to plant roots, these innovations not only ease farmers’ financial burdens but also enhance crop yields and foster long-term resilience against unpredictable weather and rising costs.

Key Results

Pivot Bio's cutting-edge technology has demonstrated significant advantages over traditional methods:

• - 99.5% less investment is needed to build compared to conventional fertilizer facilities.
• - The shipping volume required is a mere 1/20,000th of traditional nitrogen shipments.
• - The company effectively reduces reliance on volatile global markets, mitigating concerns over working capital, price spikes, and supply chain troubles for growers.

Proven Success Across the Market

The flagship product, PROVEN 40, stands as the most rigorously tested microbe available, supported by over ten years of research and development. Results have been validated over nearly 15 million acres across 34 states, backed by independent studies from over 20 major universities, and it holds a robust portfolio of 200 patents.

Furthermore, Pivot Bio has broadened its offerings beyond corn and small grains with the introduction of CERT-N™, the first gene-edited nitrogen-fixing product designated for cotton cultivation. This innovative product cuts down synthetic nitrogen use by 20% and increases lint yield by 50 pounds per acre, showcasing a remarkable return on investment of 200% in its inaugural year.

Environmental Impact Since 2022

Since 2022, farmers utilizing Pivot Bio products have achieved extraordinary environmental impacts equivalent to eliminating emissions produced by 3.4 gas-fired power plants annually, representing savings on coal transportation equivalent to 7,200 railcars, or the yearly electricity consumption of 270,000 homes. In total, over 129,000 metric tons of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer has been avoided, more than 665 million gallons of manufacturing water have been conserved, and over 102,600 metric tons of nitrate leaching have been prevented—all remarkable achievements within a short time frame.
