'Welcome to the seventh event in our Future Food Series! This time, we are diving into the topic of precision fermentation. The topic: Fermentation is fast becoming a game changer for the alternative protein industry, and precision fermentation companies are at the forefront of this trend. The technology makes it possible to programme microorganisms to produce complex organic molecules, such as milk proteins. The resulting ingredients are identical to animal-based ones and can be used to formulate the next generation of foods. A big bulk of the growing investment in fermentation startups is raised by precision fermentation companies, such as Perfect Day in the US. In 2021, the Berlin-based ProVeg Incubator alumnus Formo secured €42 million in funding – the largest Series-A food-tech round in Europe to date. What to expect: Our guests are pioneering startup founders and industry experts in precision fermentation. What applications of precision fermentation are the most promising? Which products will we see on the markets and when? How does the scale-up of precision fermentation work? What are the regulatory hurdles? We discussed with our guests the tech, the challenges, and the impact of precision fermentation on the way towards a transformed food industry. Hosts: Albrecht Wolfmeyer, ProVeg Incubator Fabio Ziemssen, Zintinus Panel: Dr. Jeremy Chignell, Senior Fermentation Scientist at BIO-CAT Microbials Eva Sommer, Founder and CEO at Fermify Ahmed Khan, Founder and Editor at CellAgri Dr. Hannah Lester, Head of Regulatory Affairs at Gourmey and CEO and Principal Consultant at Amgen Regulatory Consulting About ProVeg Incubator ProVeg Incubator is the world’s leading Incubator of plant-based, fermentation, and cultured food startups.
