## About

Founded in 2023 and based in Hefei, China, Hefei Shenbi Biotechnology Co., Ltd, trading as Magicpen bio, focuses on the exploration of genetic engineering in plants. In February 2026, Magicpen bio raised a pre-series A funding led new investor Confitop Capital.
Magicpen bio specializes in synthetic biology with a focus on plant genetic engineering. Their core offerings include a proprietary bioluminescence technology system that integrates natural bioluminescent genes into plants using advanced gene editing techniques. This innovation enables continuous luminescence, applicable in urban landscaping, ecological scenarios, and home gardening. The company has developed standardized production systems featuring three primary product lines designed for aesthetic and functional enhancement in horticulture, targeting sustainable agriculture and urban development sectors.
Magicpen bio's revenue model is based on partnerships and direct sales to businesses and consumers, particularly in agriculture and landscaping. They engage in B2B transactions with retailers and wholesalers for distributing their bioluminescent plants and technologies. Collaborations with research institutions and agricultural organizations may also create contract-based revenue streams, structured around project agreements tailored to clients' environmental and aesthetic needs.
The pre-series A funds raised will be mainly used for the technological iteration of the plant cell chassis synthetic biology platform, the industrialization of core products and market expansion.
