Evogene announced an expanded collaboration with Google Cloud to integrate advanced AI agents into its ChemPass AI platform. The partnership will leverage Google Cloud’s Vertex AI to enhance Evogene’s small-molecule discovery and optimization capabilities for pharmaceutical and agricultural applications.
This marks the second major milestone in the companies’ relationship, following their initial collaboration announced in October 2024. The integration aims to automate and scale key discovery processes, enabling large-scale parallel molecular exploration while shortening design-build-test-analyze cycles. Evogene expects the upgrades to improve precision, success rates, speed, and cost efficiency across multiple discovery programs.
CEO Ofer Haviv said the collaboration represents a shift from AI models to autonomous discovery, adding that parts of Evogene’s innovation tools may eventually be offered globally via the Google Cloud Marketplace.
