FOOD SYSTEMS

Powering the future of food with the science behind alternative proteins.

The alternative protein sector is reshaping the future of food—driven by sustainability, innovation, and the urgent need to reduce our reliance on animal agriculture. We support companies and researchers at every stage of development, from fermentation and cell culture to formulation and regulatory strategy. With a science-first approach, we provide the tools, data, and insights needed to bring high-impact protein solutions to market efficiently, ethically, and at scale.

FEATURED CAPABILITIES

MAPPING

We conduct in-depth patent and innovation mapping to help you understand the evolving landscape of alternative proteins. From tracking emerging technologies in precision fermentation and cellular agriculture to identifying IP gaps and key competitors, our service provides the strategic insights you need to position your product and protect your innovation. Whether you’re an early-stage startup or scaling up, our mapping helps guide your R&D direction, investment strategy, and partnership decisions.

LCA

Our LCA service provides a detailed environmental impact evaluation of your product or process — from raw material sourcing to end-of-life. By assessing key metrics such as carbon footprint, water usage, and energy consumption, we help you quantify your sustainability claims and identify areas for improvement. This data not only strengthens your brand’s credibility with consumers and investors but also supports B2B sales, regulatory submissions, and access to green funding.

FUNDING

Securing funding is one of the biggest hurdles in food innovation. We offer end-to-end support — from identifying the most relevant grants and investors to writing compelling applications and designing robust scientific workplans. Our deep understanding of the alt-protein sector allows us to position your project strategically, helping you maximize your chances of success.

OUR SUPPORT

Consumers, investors, and regulators are demanding greater transparency, traceability, and impact in how we produce food. Companies that back their sustainability claims with real science — like LCA data or microbial insights — gain market trust and unlock strategic funding opportunities. In fact, products labelled with credible environmental data see up to 58% higher consumer preference. We help you translate complex food innovation into credible, scalable solutions — so you can de-risk your development pipeline, enter new markets with confidence, and grow a business that’s both sustainable and competitive.
