Matr Foods is on a mission to radically change the environmental impact of how we eat. We develop cutting edge microbial food solutions that allow us to transform local plant ingredients into a new generation of clean label plant based meat alternatives with a unique juicy texture and natural deep umami. We are just getting started! Join the food revolution!

The Protein Brewery (TPB) is an innovative developer of plant based, highly nutritious food ingredients, driving the transition to other food sources across the globe with innovative fermentation technologies. The company was founded in January 2020 as a demerger of BioscienZ BV and is commercializing highly nutritious, healthy, and sustainable food ingredients. The company has access to a broad toolbox including Molecular Biology, Fermentation, Food Science, Analytical tools, and Down Stream Processing technologies.

Chromologics is a Danish biotech start-up responding to the strong market pull for novel natural food colorants. We develop fungal fermentation solutions for the production of natural pigments. Our proprietary production process allows not only for a more sustainable production than existing solutions, but is also cost-competitive. Our pigments are produced by a non-GMO fungus, which makes them compliant with the dietary requirements of broad consumer bases such as kosher, halal, and vegan diets.

Biosyntia is a biotech startup within synthetic biology and metabolic engineering. We develop biocatalysts at an unprecedented speed and efficiency by employing our patent pending high-throughput screening technology. By developing tailored processes based on biocatalysis, Biosyntia enables production of complex chemical compounds by fermentation. Biocatalysis may substantially reduce both production costs and environmental impact compared to other processes such as chemical synthesis. We partner with manufacturers of fine chemical compounds (flavors, fragrances, APIs, pigments, additives, intermediates, and more) in order to establish more sustainable manufacturing processes for a greener tomorrow. Biosyntia is located at a startup incubator (Symbion) in Copenhagen, just a few kilometers from the center of the city.

We’re on a journey to Grow the Future of Materials. How? By unlocking the unique properties of mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms. Our patented technology, Fine Mycelium™, unleashes a new class of materials crafted from nature, engineered for performance, and built for a resilient future. Our impact on future generations steers our innovations today. From our expertise in mycology and materials science to our manufacturing innovations, we’re creating new possibilities for industry. We’re an outstanding team of scientists, engineers, product experts, artists, leaders—and you.

AFFORDABLE PHEROMONES FOR PEST MANAGEMENT BioPhero is a pioneer in providing low-cost bio-based pheromones for pest management. Together with partners, our mission is to lead the global transition towards sustainable agriculture, where safe pheromone-based products become the primary method for pest control.
