What they look for

Agilent Ventures invests strategically to support Agilent Technologies' "Build-and-Buy" growth strategy. They seek out early-stage companies developing cutting-edge life science tools, multi-omics platforms, and diagnostic technologies that can seamlessly integrate with or enhance Agilent's existing portfolio of instruments, software, and consumables. They specifically look for technologies that can leverage Agilent's existing product lines-for example, platforms that can utilize Agilent's SureSelect target enrichment system or its Magnis NGS Prep System.
