We are a French biotechnology company developing cutting-edge precision fermentation techniques, dedicated to take part in the environmental transition within the dairy production sector. Our innovative technology enables the production of dairy proteins without the need for animals, significantly reducing the ecological footprint. By providing our clients with cutting-edge, sustainable ingredients, we empower them to create a diverse range of dairy products identical to those you already love, both environmentally conscious and nutritionally rich. Join us on our journey to shaping a future where ethical dairy alternatives are complementary to conventional farming and contribute to a healthier planet.

Werewool is a biomaterials company that develops fibers with tailored aesthetic and performance properties. Inspired by nature, we design fibers at the DNA level to create sustainable textiles with inherent properties. Creating low impact materials with a circular life cycle.

ELICIT PLANT is an AGtech company and a pioneer in the stimulation of field-grown plants through the use of phytosterols. By reducing plant water stress, our patented technology increases yield in situation of lack of water. Elicit Plant develops and provides new effective prevention products against the stress suffered by plants grown by the intake of exogenous phytosterols in the field. Elicit Plant offers a novel solution for reducing water consumption for the cultivation of targeted plants and helps to fight against water stress. Elicit Plants develops a methodology to collect soil, plant development and climate data to quantify the results obtained under real-life conditions.

Our ambition is to play a key role in tackling climate change, by enabling green chemistry for every industry. We do this by creating the most general and efficient technology platform for chemical production that the world has ever seen. That’s a big claim, but we can stand behind it. By bio-upgrading the chemical industry with our cell-free biomanufacturing platform, we can produce the products that modern society relies on in a truly sustainable way. The technology platform utilises nature’s catalysts, enzymes, by combining the power of biology with the efficiency of the chemical industry in a best-of-both-worlds solution. EnginZyme is recognised as a Technology Pioneer by World Economic Forum and backed by Sofinnova Partners, Industrifonden, SEB Greentech VC, Bunge Ventures, Almi Invest GreenTech Fund, and Navigare Ventures.

AFYREN industrialises innovative processes worldwide, with the aim of producing without waste, natural molecules usually petro-sourced, used to manufacture everyday products (food, cosmetics, agronomy), while respecting the environment. The non-food biomass transformed by the AFYNERIE ® process produces synthons (from 2 to 6 carbons) that will lead via green chemistry to a range of high value-added molecules.

EnobraQ is a French start up developing fermentation processes to transform CO2 into commodity chemicals through synthetic biology

COMET is a transformational brand founded by a group of visionaries who approach problems differently. We supply naturally better ingredients that make it easy for people to eat healthier and have a positive impact on the planet. Sustainability, science and health are at the heart of everything we do. COMET is the only company with the IP and expertise needed to perfect nature's best fiber, arabinoxylan, an FDA-recognized fiber with superior tolerance in the gut and clinically proven prebiotic health benefits. COMET's proprietary line of Arrabina arabinoxylan dietary fibers are upcycled certified and can easily be added to any food and beverage application. Our small, but mighty team is comprised of intelligent and imaginative talent who work collaboratively to ensure innovation, success and exponential growth. We are fully funded after raising $25M in Series C funding, led by well-known investors such as Louis Dreyfus and Open Prairie. COMET is actively increasing commercialization of its line of Arrabina dietary fibers to meet the strong market demand.
