The company aims to provide capacity for both microbial precision and mycelial biomass fermentation players by operating a global network of interconnected production sites powered by upscaling specific IP.<\/p>\n<p>The start-up\u2019s technology enables a scaled and cost-efficient production of sustainable, diverse and authentic analogues to animal derived foods and ingredients. Yet, industrial scale bioprocessing capacity remains a bottleneck to the industry and is largely unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>David Brandes, co-founder and CEO of planetary, said:\u00a0\u201cBy building an interconnected fermentation capacity network, we aim to open global and local market access to fermentation partners whilst reducing their operational risk and capital exposure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the race to advance product quality, viability, and mitigate climate impact, fermentation companies dedicated to alternative proteins raised USD 1.7 billion in investments in 2021(<a href=\"https:\/\/gfi.org\/press\/record-5-billion-invested-in-alt-proteins-in-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GFI<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>In this context and thanks to its offering, planetary has raised CHF 7.5 million in a seed funding round led by agrifoodtech investor <a href=\"https:\/\/astanor.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Astanor Ventures<\/a>, and followed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xange.vc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">XAnge<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bluehorizon.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blue Horizon<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nucleus-capital.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nucleus Capital<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n<h4>Alleviating a major production hurdle<\/h4>\n<p>A member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/swissfoodnutritionvalley.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Swiss Food and Nutrition Valley<\/a>, planetary will use these new funds to enable fermentation players to scale up and mass produce at low cost through the installation of industrial fermentation capacity, and to ultimately operate a global network of automated production plants.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFermentation technology is essential to creating the alternative protein products that can meet consumer demand for taste and nutrition. Current fermentation capacity is a major hurdle to the development of these products on a large scale. We are excited to support the development of planetary\u2019s innovative infrastructure technology to address this need,\u201d concludes George Coelho, Co-Founder and Partner at Astanor Ventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foodtech planetary has raised CHF 7.5 million to build microbial fermentation capacity globally and scale the new food evolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":15032,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[832],"tags":[894,928,958],"class_list":["post-15031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-agrifood","tag-financing","tag-food-beverages","tag-foodtech"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
