Novameat is pioneering a new generation of protein cuts, specifically created for food makers. We challenge the limitations of conventional plant-based alternatives, which often impose constraints on culinary creativity. Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that true culinary culture is about exploration, not restriction – the pursuit of the perfect bite, not the adherence to a rigid recipe. We achieve this by combining natural ingredients with advanced texturing technology to craft protein cuts that inspire gastronomic innovation.
Our commitment to quality is reflected in our gentle, low-temperature, low-pressure process, which preserves the full flavour, aroma, and nutrients of every cut. Building on years of R&D, we are dedicated to providing food makers with versatile, high-quality ingredients, always gluten- and soy-free, and produced to BRCGS standards.

Prometheus Materials provides sustainable building materials that accelerate the world’s transition to a carbon-negative future. Inspired by biological processes found in nature, the company's process uses microalgae to produce a bio-cement that offers an alternative to carbon-intensive portland cement. When mixed with aggregate, this bio-cement forms an ultra low-carbon bio-concrete with mechanical, physical and thermal properties that rival those of portland cement-based concrete. Learn more about how the company enables the decarbonization of the construction industry at prometheusmaterials.com.

By 2050, the world's population will surpass 10 billion people. To feed the current population and future generations we need to address global food challenges, today. How can we solve this problem without overwhelming the planet? And how can we deliver higher quality, more nutritious food for everyone?
With Protera’s Natural Intelligence™ technology, we believe the future is already here. Protera’s technology uses predictive algorithms that calculate millions of amino acid combinations and simulate protein patterns in a matter of seconds. Our technology is based in Deep Learning and allows us to shine a light on a previously untapped universe of proteins.
We craft protein-based ingredients faster and more affordably than ever before, unlocking a revolution in human health, reducing damage to the environment, and preventing food waste. Our first products already exceed the performance, scalability, and functionality of existing alternative ingredients.
