Meala is a food technology company developing clean-label texturizing proteins that enable food manufacturers to replace eggs and synthetic texturizers without compromising functionality or taste. Our proprietary protein platform delivers gelling, binding, foaming, and emulsifying performance across bakery, savory, sauces, and dressings applications.

By reducing egg dependency and eliminating ingredients such as methylcellulose and modified starches, Meala helps manufacturers create simpler ingredient lists, improve formulation economics, and reduce environmental impact. Independent life cycle assessments demonstrate up to 63% lower carbon emissions and up to 96% lower water footprint, depending on the application.

Our solutions are already commercialized through global ingredient partners- dsm firmenich and LASENOR and are designed for industrial-scale manufacturing, enabling food producers to accelerate the transition toward more sustainable, resilient, and clean-label food systems

TiterUp is a biotechnology services company specializing in advanced microbial strain engineering for industrial and precision fermentation. We help companies dramatically increase production titers using multi copy genomic integration, enabling more protein, enzyme, or metabolite output from the same fermentation infrastructure.

By boosting yields without adding new genes or changing downstream processes, TiterUp directly reduces the energy, feedstock, water, and reactor volume required per kilogram of product. This leads to lower operating costs and a significantly smaller carbon footprint for biomanufacturing at scale.

Our technology is already proven at commercial scale and is applicable across food proteins, industrial enzymes, specialty chemicals, and other fermentation based products. By making microbial production more efficient, we enable our partners to scale faster, reduce waste, and replace carbon intensive manufacturing routes with sustainable biological alternatives.

TiterUp’s mission is to make biomanufacturing economically and environmentally superior, accelerating the transition to a low carbon, biology driven industrial economy

The Fat Company is a food-tech startup developing a new category of plant-source fat that replaces animal fat in industrial meat and hybrid products. Fat is the core driver of taste, texture and consumer satisfaction, yet it is also the primary contributor to cholesterol, health risks and environmental impact. We solve this by creating fat that looks, tastes and behaves like animal fat, but is made entirely from plant sources.

Our technology, based on controlled amorphous emulsion crystallization, transforms plant oils into structured fat particles that match the thermal and functional behavior of beef, pork, or poultry fat. The result is a clean-label, cholesterol-free ingredient that integrates seamlessly into existing factory lines, with no reformulation, no workflow changes, and no compromise on taste or mouthfeel.

We work directly with leading meat producers in Europe and Israel, where we have already completed line trials in sausages, patties, and deli applications. This positions our solution as the first plant-source fat viable at an industrial scale, offering manufacturers a healthier, stable, and sustainable alternative that reduces reliance on livestock and palm oil.

Our mission is simple: enable the global meat industry to keep the taste people love, while eliminating the harms behind it

Nuna is a FoodTech company developing scalable biotechnology solutions to meet the growing global demand for sustainable protein.
While interest in alternative proteins continues to rise, we still see very few products reaching the market at scale. The core barrier remains production: it’s expensive, complex, and not yet built for true mass deployment.

Our mission is to change that.

We’ve developed a novel edible bioreactor platform — a food-safe, scalable system that enables the efficient cultivation of both animal and plant cells, including algae. By dramatically reducing production costs and simplifying infrastructure needs, our technology makes high-quality, sustainable protein more accessible than ever before.

Backed by a world-class scientific team from Bar-Ilan University and the Volcani Institute, Nuna’s platform has already been validated through two working products:

Live algae that remain fresh and continue growing during transport — preserving nutritional value and eliminating the need for drying or freezing.

A proprietary fish cell line cultivated within our system — demonstrating its cross-species potential for cultured seafood and beyond.

We operate as a B2B technology enabler, helping companies in the food, algae, and cultivated protein industries scale faster, cleaner, and more affordably.

By reimagining what yeast can do, we enable food producers to take part in the growing food-as-medicine revolution and lead in the rising wave of functional beverages and foods.

Kokomodo is reimagining cacao for a climate-resilient future. Using cellular agriculture, we grow real cacao- without trees, deforestation, or dependence on fragile supply chains. Our approach enables consistent, year-round production of high-quality cacao with dramatically reduced environmental impact.

Today, cacao is grown almost entirely in two countries, vulnerable to climate shocks, child labor, and unsustainable farming practices. It takes six years to grow and is increasingly threatened by rising temperatures and disease. We believe there’s a better way.

At Kokomodo, we start by isolating cacao cells from premium varieties and cultivating them in optimized lab environments. This allows us to produce cacao biomass in just days, rich in bioactive compounds.

The result is a scalable, clean-label ingredient that meets the growing demand for cacao. Kokomodo cacao is designed for applications in functional foods, supplements, beverages, and beyond- empowering brands to deliver nutritional impact without environmental compromise.

One of the major reasons for the slow adaptation of plant-based protein is the gap in taste and experience that customers are experiencing. On top of that, the plant-based supply chain is being affected dramatically by global warming, leading to a real danger of food shock, which leads food companies to search for new and resilient alternatives for plant-based proteins.

Better Pulse will solve both problems by introducing a new, tasty, soil-regenerative, and nutritious protein from the Black-eyed pea. With exclusive access to a unique variety, this new plant-based protein will ensure a resilient supply chain, of tasty, nutritious protein.
