"We are thrilled to be partnering with Ecolab, a global leader in the development and distribution of hygiene and infection prevention solutions. This agreement validates the disruptive qualities of our HeiQ Synbio industrial biotech platform and its innovative first mover position in the market," said Chief Executive Officer Carlo Centonze.

HeiQ shares were trading 8.1% higher at 9.45 pence each in London on Monday morning.
