We are thrilled to share the success of our latest Demo Day, held as part of ProVeg International’s annual New Food Conference. This marked the first time we’ve hosted the Demo Day as part of the conference, and it exceeded all expectations.

Our 12th cohort of startups showcased their innovative solutions, with impressive pitches from Atlantic Fish Co, Optimized Foods, Friends & Family Pet Food Company, AlProtein, and Fisheroo. These innovative companies captivated both the audience and the esteemed panel of investors, which included Fabio Ziemssen from ZINTINUS, Bernhard Jaup from Green Generation Fund, and Mridul Pareek from European Circular Bioeconomy Fund.

Later in the day, our alumni and portfolio startups, including Alfred’s Food-Tech, Pink Albatross, Cultimate, and Happy Ocean Foods, delivered outstanding pitches, further demonstrating the incredible growth and impact of our community.

Attendees had the chance to vote for their favorite startups, and we’re delighted to announce that AIProtein took home the Audience Award, while Optimized Foods won the Judges Award.

The event would not have been possible without the continued support of our generous donors, whose contributions enable us to empower and showcase innovative startups – thank you!
