Elicit Plant is a mid-sized biotechnology research company based in Saint-jean-de-la-Croix, in the Pays de la Loire region of France. It focuses on agricultural technology, using externally supplied phytosterols to stimulate field-grown plants and reduce water stress while aiming to improve yields. The firm develops preventive products to help crops cope with stress from exogenous phytosterol uptake in the field, and it collects soil, plant development, and climate data to quantify results under real-world conditions. Its main customers are farmers and crop producers seeking to reduce irrigation needs and maintain yields under water scarcity. In the AGtech and biotechnology space, the company positions itself around field-based solutions that address crop stress from limited water. In March 2026, Elicit Plant announced a strategic partnership with Certis Belchim to co-develop a biological solution for potatoes aimed at helping farmers address climate-related stress and water scarcity across Europe.
