Innovate Purpose Achievements Goals for 2012+ We are building on our track  record of innovation in Crop  Protection and Seeds to  generate combined genetic  and chemical solutions.  We are also broadening the scope of our  innovation through partnerships with companies  that have adjacent technologies – such as  John Deere, which developed new planting  machinery for the PLENE ®  sugar cane program.  Examples in 2011 included new bio-pesticide  partnerships with Pasteuria Bioscience  Innovations and Marrone Bio Inc., and a  research initiative with Illumitex on lighting to  support plant growth. In the USA, we partnered  with Lindsay to bring growers an integrated crop  protection and water management solution  delivered via their existing irrigation pivots. Integration of our R&D teams will facilitate  development of complete solutions,  underpinned by the product strength  we have already established.  We define innovation broadly, signifying new  markets and ways of reaching customers as  well as new products. We aim to accelerate  the flow of innovation by translating grower  insights from our integrated sales force into  new products and solutions. Our integrated offer will be built on a strong  platform of crop protection and seeds products.  New products in 2011 continued to strengthen  this platform. They included:  – Research and Development model  fully aligned – Announcement of a crop-based pipeline  valued at over US$ 22 billion post 2015 – New partnerships to extend capability:  Lindsay, Marrone Bio Inc., Pasteuria  Bioscience Innovations, Illumitex – Ongoing launch of transformative business  models in sugar cane and rice – Integrated solution for soybean rust in Brazil – New emerging market business models – Numerous new seed varieties across crops,  bringing benefits to growers and consumers – Three new corn traits: VIPTERA ™  for broad  Lepidoptera  control; ENOGEN ® , the first  output trait in corn; and ARTESIAN ™ , the  industry’s first water optimization trait  – SEGURIS ® : a fungicide for the control of  Septoria  in wheat – VIBRANCE ™ : a seed care fungicide which  is the first compound developed specifically  for seed care use As part of the Capital  Markets Days in Stanton,  USA, stakeholders visited  corn and soybean plots  to see Syngenta solutions  in action. 18 Syngenta Annual Review 2011
