Brazilian sugarcane technology company Centro de Tecnologia Canavieira (CTC) has chosen St. Louis for its North American research headquarters, officials said Wednesday.
"St. Louis has a world-class constellation of plant science assets that is perfectly matched for what CTC needs to transform sugarcane, one of the most complex crops to develop. CTC leaders made a wise choice of placing their bet on St. Louis to help them make sugarcane a competitive and valuable crop for farmers and consumers," said Vijay Chauhan, GlobalSTL lead.
GlobalSTL, a BioSTL initiative that attracts companies to St. Louis, was one of the organizations that helped recruit CTC.
