Plant-Base Alternative

Formo is a startup focusing on creating animal-free cheese through precision fermentation. The process utilizes koji, a fungus traditionally found in fermented foods like soy sauce and miso. Precision fermentation, the cornerstone of Formo’s approach, requires significantly less energy and fewer resources than conventional dairy farming.

Pectcof is an innovative startup that transforms coffee pulp biomass, a byproduct of post-harvest coffee processing, into valuable bio-based materials. The company's flagship product, Dutch Gum®, is a groundbreaking hydrocolloid (thickening agent) that modifies textures, viscosities, and product stability, making it ideal for use in plant-based foods.
