Happy Plant Protein enables locally produced healthy and affordable plant-based food with new patented technology and raises EUR 1.8 million to go global
Summary
Researchers behind the innovation discovered a cost-effective way to produce high-quality plant protein based on existing extrusion technology. The method developed by Happy Plant Protein reduces energy usage to one seventh of the isolate process and cuts down the investment required. This model bypasses the traditional global supply chain, allowing for the use of local crops and reducing the carbon footprint associated with food production and transport. The technology and the new company stem from VTTs long-term research excellence in plant protein ingredients, underlining the importance of persistent RDI investments. VTT LaunchPad supports incubator teams to develop VTT-owned IPR into fundable spin-off companies.This information was brought to you by Cision http://news.cision.com
