The ProteInn Club facilitates innovations and accelerates the further development of a really unique fermentation-based protein ecosystem. We bring together all actors to contribute to a more sustainable food system and circular bio-economy.
Share with us your insights, offers, ambitions, questions or needs and bring your expertise to our enlightening demonstrations and innovative workshops.
Breakthrough tech deserves a bold approach! Here is a fun explainer video that introduces fermentation-based proteins to a broad audience. Europe has the feedstocks, the knowledge, and the infrastructure to lead the fermentation revolution!
The video uses a playful spy-movie storyline where a fermentation professor is kidnapped for his secret recipes and a wannabe James Bond races to rescue him. Along the way, viewers are introduced to fermentation basics, protein functionality, and Europe’s vast potential.
Video supported by The ProteInn Club and VLAIO through the COOCK+-project 𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗠 𝗘𝗜𝗪𝗜𝗧.
About The ProteInn Club
In the shift towards more sustainable proteins, the interest in alternative, fermentation-based proteins is growing massively. The ProteInn Club provides knowledge and answers to those who want to grab opportunities and tackle the challenges of this transition. The ProteInn Club is a successful collaboration between Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant, UGent, CAPTURE and Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture Fisheries and Food (ILVO) and identifies, connects, support and inspires the entire value chain.
Creating and fostering an ecosystem
For the production, consumption and application of fermentation-based proteins
Connecting partners
Along the value chain and along the innovation chain
Raising awareness on fermentation-derived proteins
As a part of the transition to a circular bio-economy and sustainable food system
Facilitating innovation and demonstration
Related to fermentation-derived proteins
We believe fermentation-derived proteins will be an essential element of the transition towards a circular bio-economy and sustainable food system
The ProteInn Club
Fermentation-derived proteins
Fermentation-derived proteins are proteins produced by microbial fermentation processes. Both biomass-fermentation (‘single-cell-protein’) as well as precision-fermentation are within the scope of The ProteInn Club
A huge potential
We believe fermentation-based proteins can play a significant role in the transition away from animal-based proteins. Fermentation-based proteins provide huge market potential together with significant benefits in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use and resource-efficiency.
Our ecosystem
Our ecosystem combines the presence of raw materials providers, fermentation technology providers, end-users, governments working on the protein transition, excellent knowledge institutes and world-class infrastructure for research and demonstration.
The ProteInn Club
The ProteInn club wants to grab the opportunities for the further development of this unique fermentation-derived proteins ecosystem and contribute to a circular bio-economy!
