Onego Bio is proud to receive Co-innovation funding from Business Finland as part of the international FoodID project! The project is part of the Global Centers research program, led by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and operated jointly by six countries, with the aim of developing solutions that support a climate-neutral future and solving global challenges, especially through bioeconomy. The project develops new sustainable processes based on the production of alternative proteins and lipids from plants and fermentation. Onego's highly scalable technology to produce egg white protein without chickens using precise fermentation meets the growing needs of the food industry with a 90% smaller environmental footprint compared to conventional egg production. In this project, in collaboration with VTT we investigate the processing and utilization of alternative feedstocks such as food industry side streams in our fermentation process. The use of side streams and alternative plant biomass as feedstock has the potential to further improve sustainability of the production of alternative proteins and to increase the circularity and efficiency in the food system. The three-year project is implemented as a collaboration between the United States and Finland coordinated by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Other organizations involved in this project are the University of Helsinki, VTT , Valio , Fazer , MeEat Food Tech Oy , and Enifer .
