We build companies with pioneering scientists to transform the global food system
Why? For us, ending the reliance on factory farming is the most important challenge of our time.
Factory farming causes tremendous animal suffering.
Factory farming is destroying our planet.
Factory farming is a catastrophic risk to our health.
The problem is getting worse.
Global animal product consumption is only set to rise…
…but the solutions are within reach.
Convergence of innovative technologies and rapid decline of application costs provide compelling scientific approaches towards food production.
We team up with bold scientists to create breakthrough solutions that displace animal-based food products.
Our aim is to build iconic companies in Europe that have an enduring positive impact on animals, planet and people.
We focus on the following technology approaches…
Animal Cell Cultivation
Microbial Fermentation
Plant-based Innovation
Within those pillars we are prioritizing enabling technologies for clean meat (cultured / cultivated / cell-based), recombinant platforms for functional ingredients, mycelium as a scaffold for structured products, single-cell fungi and microalgae biomass production, and plant-based fat encapsulation techniques. These should all have the aim to displace animal-derived meat, seafood, pet food, egg and dairy products/ingredients.
We are providing the critical components to succeed…
