Why We Exist

99% of food technologies developed in European universities never reach the market. We're here to change that by building ventures around the best of them.

A Massive Opportunity, Hiding in Plain Sight

The food industry is the world's largest, yet one of the least innovative. Big Food is cutting R&D budgets and shifting from building to buying — creating enormous demand for market-ready solutions.

Meanwhile, only 1% of commercialized European academic innovations are in food tech. Thousands of breakthrough technologies sit in university labs, never reaching the companies that need them.

We connect these two sides: we find the technologies with the highest commercial potential, validate them with industry, and build ventures that deliver both impact and returns.

-33%

Cut in Big Food's internal R&D. They'd rather acquire than build from scratch
