SweBAN is a non-profit organization in the form of a national network aimed at stimulating the creation and development of angel investor networks in Sweden. We aim to unite, coordinate, and represent Swedish angel investor groups and networks regarding their interests towards government authorities, media, and other stakeholders in the startup ecosystem in Sweden. We promote the development of new angel investor networks and, where none exist locally or regionally, assist in starting such networks. Through these initiatives, we create a strong backbone of early-stage investment in Sweden.

At Mycorena, we are on a mission to significantly change how we produce and consume food. We believe in the power of fungi and want to pave the way for a sustainability revolution by offering the industry scalable, high-quality products. Through innovative technology, we develop sustainable mycelium-based solutions for the food industry. Our flagship product Promyc is a proprietary vegan mycoprotein with superior nutritional value in protein, fibre, vitamins, and minerals. With a neutral taste and a satisfying fibrous texture, Promyc offers the most demanded qualities in the alternative protein segment. What originated as a research project has grown into one of the fastest-growing companies in the industry. Since our founding in 2017, we have scaled from a small lab to Scandinavia’s largest demo production facility for mycoprotein. We are expanding further as we prepare to commence commercial production in our new Promyc Production Plant, the first of its kind in Scandinavia. Our vision is to be world-leading in fungi-based technology and drive the change in the food system for a sustainable tomorrow. The future of food is now.
