Fuelled by massive demand for their innovative plant-based steak, Planted is expanding beyond Switzerland and building its first international production facility in a former brewery in Memmingen, Germany. The future of food is unfolding fast—and Planted is leading the way. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: - 🌍 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡: The new facility will run almost CO2 neutral, powered by renewable energy sources like photovoltaic systems and district heating. - 🥩 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐬: Their groundbreaking fermentation technology produces plant-based steaks so real that demand has already outstripped supply. - 🌱 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐎2 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬:Compared to animal beef, Planted’s production reduces 97% of CO2 emissions and uses 81% less water. - 🚀 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 & 𝐉𝐨𝐛𝐬: 50+ new jobs created, doubling production capacity to 20 tons/day to meet demand across Europe and the UK. The expansion marks a major step for Planted, allowing them to fuel further growth in both retail and gastronomy across Europe. With the plant-based food revolution accelerating, Planted is positioning itself at the forefront, proving that the future of food is now. 🌱 #AltProtein #PlantBased #Sustainability #FutureOfFood #GreenTech #FoodInnovation #ClimateAction Swiss Food & Nutrition Valley Swiss Food Research Plant Based News Green Queen Media Sonalie Figueiras Pascal Bieri Vorwerk Ventures Blue Horizon Bjoern Witte Roger Lienhard foodward - shaping the future of food Swiss Startup Association University of St. Gallen - HSG ETH Zürich ZFV-Unternehmungen Swiss Protein Association Bundesverband für Alternative Proteinquellen e.V. - Balpro Godo Röben 🌱 Food Campus Berlin Jörg Reuter Mark Leinemann crowdfoods – Food Entrepreneur & Startup Association (FESA) Dr. Daniel Michael Böhi ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences Marion Höchli Judith Wemmer Lukas Böni Christoph Jenny Jennifer Stojkovic The Future of Protein Production

Die Aussteller trudeln auch jetzt ein und nach allem, was ich hier schon gesehen habe, wird es ein super leckerer Event. Wir vom Team crowdfoods – Food Entrepreneur & Startup Association (FESA) freuen uns heute hier zu sein und auf den Austausch mit euch!

Pictures speak more than words. Swipe below to see what we mean when we say "Ideenfutter Expo on Sept 11 is the place for exchange: to discuss new ideas, share experiences, learn from each other, create partnerships." Exchange at eye level between start-ups, established businesses, farmers, food manufacturers, distributors and scientists, enablers, representatives of political parties and institutions, as well as investors. Exchange along the whole value chain, because this new food system we are building will pull from many different solutions. From deep tech and low tech and no tech. From regional and global value chains.... Experience the agrifood value network in action in Neuss on Wednesday, Sept 11. Tickets are available online or at the door.
