Bayer
Bayer is trying to make one science company work at three speeds: the long clock of drug discovery, the seasonal rhythm of farming and the everyday urgency of self-care. Its turnaround will depend on whether that range becomes an advantage rather than a burden.
Eratani
Eratani is an Indonesian agritech company that digitizes smallholder rice farming through one integrated platform. It connects previously isolated farmers to affordable financing, high-quality inputs, agronomic advice and buyers for their harvest - covering the full cycle from upstream to downstream. Founded in 2021, Eratani works with more than 34,000 rice farmers across Java and Sulawesi, manages over 13,000 hectares of paddy, and reports lifting yields by roughly 29% and farmer incomes by about 25%.
