The world’s population is estimated to reach more than nine billion by 2050. Global food production will have to increase by 70 per cent to feed everyone. Meanwhile one third of all food produced is wasted. At nextProtein we’re driven by a personal desire to address land and resource scarcity and feed a rising population sustainably. nextProtein can produce the equivalent amount of protein from 100sqm as 100ha of soya field. Founded by couple Syrine Chaalala and Mohamed Gastli, we produce insect-based protein for animal feedstocks with a negligible carbon footprint, at a lower cost and with the equivalent nutritional value of traditional protein production. We do this by taking otherwise unconsumed food on which to raise the insects, returning protein to the food cycle. nextProtein has years of experience in breeding Black Soldier Fly, which was selected specially for its beneficial, high-yield quality. Fly larvae are raised, harvested and then processed into valuable components of animal feed: an insect based protein for aquaculture, livestock and pets, an extracted fat and a natural fertilizer for use in agriculture. Our process is EU-approved for aquaculture and pet food and is suitable for feedstocks for the poultry and pork industries.   Based in France with production operations in Tunisia, nextProtein is also backed by a range of high-profile international investors and business angels who have recognised our potential to revolutionise the industry.

Nick’s does some of the yummiest sweets, ice cream and protein bar down, but that’s not all. Our purpose is larger than that. We eliminate the gap between indulgent and healthy, through food innovation, to empower more people to make better food choices. Nick’s exist for the impulsive, the yay-sayers and the uncommitted. Always know that you have a friend in Nick’s, flake more, play more and stay yummy. So, eat me, lick me, spoon me, but never bore me. Nick’s - Surprisingly craveable.

Naïo Technologies is a French start-up, a pioneer and world leader in agricultural robotics. Since the company was founded just over ten years ago by two engineers, Aymeric and Gaëtan, Naïo believes it is possible to respect and celebrate our heritage while preparing for the future and our ecological transition towards a more environmentally friendly precision agriculture, ecosystems, and humans. Thats why Naïo develops 100% electric and autonomous robots that allow farmers to focus on higher value-added tasks (and let the robot take care of sowing, hoeing, or weeding), reduce the arduousness of work, or compensate for the lack of manpower. Today, Naïo Technologies has over 350 robots in circulation around the world, and more than 80 employees based mainly in Escalquens (near Toulouse in the South of France). The company is also present in California, in Salinas, the heart of fruit & vegetable production in the United States. Naïo is supported by investors such as Mirova (a leading actor in sustainable investment), Bpifrance, Capagro (the first European independent venture capital fund dedicated to innovative AgTech & FoodTech startups with impact), and Demeter (a fund specialized in supporting ecological transition).
