Interstellar Lab is a company that revolutionizes the production of plant-based ingredients on Earth and in Space. They develop biofarming platforms using AI, advanced hardware, and bioscience to supply plant-based ingredients at scale. They have projects like GrowonEarth, which focuses on accelerating the production of plants' secondary metabolites, and Growinspace, where they collaborate with space agencies to install AI-powered plant growth pods in space. Their approach includes optimizing environmental conditions and using AI and data to enhance plant yield and metabolite production. Interstellar Lab aims to preserve life on Earth while expanding it to space.
Interstellar Lab
Growing life anywhere
We revolutionize production of plant-based ingredients on Earth and in Space.
We develop and commercialize biofarming platforms combining AI, advanced hardware and bioscience to supply plant-based ingredients at scale on Earth and in Space.
GrowonEarth
We develop biofarming platforms leveraging power of AI and controlled-environment to accelerate the production of plants secondary metabolites.
Growinspace
We collaborate with NASA, ESA and commercial space companies to install AI powered plant growth pods in space.
Our Approach
Advanced biofarming
Optimizing environmental conditions to increase plant yield and enhance unique metabolite composition.
Our systems are designed to adapt environmental factors (temperature, water, CO2, light, nutrients and microorganisms) to optimize yield and production of secondary metabolites. From microgreens and rare botanicals to endangered species, our platform can support a very large range of species to suit various applications in health, beauty, agriculture, and biodiversity conservation.Fig 1.

Unique data-driven approach.
We use the power of AI and data captured in our systems to optimize environmental conditions for plant yield, phenotype and metabolites production.
