🍄💰 FoodTech 500 alum Planetary secures significant funding. Royal Cosun invests CHF 3M in biotech scale-up planetary to advance the production of mycoprotein and other high-value fermented ingredients. Planetary’s innovative BioBlocks technology converts low-value feedstocks into sustainable, protein-rich ingredients, aligning with Cosun’s strategy to lead in fermentation-enabled food solutions. By leveraging Planetary’s technology, Cosun aims to diversify its portfolio with environmentally friendly, nutritionally rich ingredients like mycoprotein, which is high in protein and fiber, making it a popular plant-based protein alternative. A key outcome of the partnership will be Planetary’s first industrial-scale mycoprotein production facility in Switzerland. This facility will serve as a model for future fermentation sites, helping to scale up the technology and meet the growing demand for sustainable food ingredients in Europe.

Today, we celebrate #WorldFoodDay across the globe🌍 On this occasion, we felt it was crucial to emphasize the importance of finding natural, healthy, and sustainable solutions to feed the planet while preserving resources and biodiversity. Agrifood systems remain vulnerable to climate change, extreme weather events and economic shocks, and, at the same time, they contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss At planetary , we are convinced that fermentation is one of the best solutions to building more resilient and sustainable food systems, from #mycoprotein to ingredients made with #precisionfermentation (see link below) Next week, we are attending SIAL Paris 🇫🇷, one of the world's largest trade fair for food innovation - please come taste our products and meet our team ( Muyiwa , Eleanor )!
