MicroHarvest is a biotech developer of an alternative protein grown from natural bacteria. The company produces protein leveraging nature’s most efficient bacteria to make better and healthier protein. This process only takes a single day from the raw ingredients to the finished product, without compromising on protein and micronutrient content. With our technology we have a systematic advantage in regards of scalability, capex utilization and sustainability. The composition of ingredients and process is patented, and the company has closed an oversubscribed €8.5M Series A round to support the build of our pilot plant and market entry.
