About GreenGo

GreenGo is a plant-based food company from Ukraine, developing unique products such as whole-cut «steaks» and fish analogues. The startup was founded in 2021 by Yuriy Kyshnir and Aleksandr Panasiuk. Since the Russian attack on Ukraine on 24 February 2022, Creative Director Bogdana Leonova has acted as the startup’s temporary CEO. While one of the co-founders had to flee the country and now lives in Germany, the Kyiv-based core team of food technologists kept developing new products, like a tofu-based cheese. The startup is currently expanding into the Ukrainian market and preparing to bring their products to other European markets. GreenGo was part of the ninth cohort in the winter of 2022 at the ProVeg Incubator. Alexandr Panasiuk will be at the event together with GreenGo’s CEO and Creative Director Leonova Bogdana and Maria Manturova, Head of Food Technology.
