We are Out Of. Were building a piece of the future through products that defy the pardigms others stop at. Tech-savy, detail-lovers, passionate about research facts and data, we rely on our in-house R&D lab, because innovation is at our core. We try, and test, and design and redesign, and sometimes we actually fail. We arent afraid of saying it, because true progress is achieved through failure. We are frank. Transparent. We let our products speak for us. And were always pushing forward, because science loves performance. #sciencelovesperformance

Grey Silo Ventures is committed to study the great potential of new fermentation processes and innovative green proteins, by using them to create novel ingredients. The ag-tech world and cellular agriculture represent other areas of interest that are part of the value chain in which Cereal Docks Group operates. We want to play a leading role in the creation of an ecosystem of innovative food-related businesses as well as help to grow it with the aim of developing novel functional ingredients that are increasingly genuine and sustainable. We also strongly believe that investing in the projects of new company founders with a long-term and strategic vision means looking afresh to the future and innovation. A commitment that aims to seek new answers through innovation in a market where sustainability and a healthier and more inclusive diet are the new trends. Consumers have become increasingly demanding and Grey Silo Ventures is one of the key milestones of Cereal Docks strategy whose goal is finding the perfect balance between nowadays new market requirements and the needs of food manufacturers.
