Rooted in American Grit
At POET, creating a cleaner future means getting our hands dirty. It doesn't mean that our work isn't cutting-edge. It just means that our breakthroughs are covered in layers of dust, sweat, and good old-fashioned grit.
We're here to solve our world's greatest challenges by harnessing the power of agriculture and biotechnology to create plant-based alternatives to petroleum-based products. Together with more than 30,000 farmers nationwide, POET processes 1 billion bushels of corn every year - creating new markets, thousands of jobs, and a stronger future for rural communities.
Where others see obstacles, we unearth boundless opportunities, through hard work, determination, and yeah, you guessed it: grit.
