11th of December 2025 – Delft. The Dutch-Flemish ecosystem was brought together to explore ‘How to unlock fermentation’s full potential for alternative proteins?’. It was organised in a cooperation between The Good Food Institute, The ProteInn Club and Protein Port. Bringing together stakeholders from academia, industry, and innovation networks, the event created a valuable platform … Read more
What determines the economic feasibility of biomass fermentation? To address this, The ProteInn Club and Ur Brightside conducted a Techno-Economic Assessment (TEA), supported by VLAIO, designed to deliver generic and widely applicable results. A TEA integrates technical and economic factors to evaluate process viability. Using a generic 10 kTa industrial biomass plant as the base, … Read more
On June 12th more than 100 engaged industrials, scientists and other innovators attended the What’s Shaking in protein research event. Inspired by 2 keynotes, 10 pitch presentations, and 6 insightful posters, lots of questions were discussed and connections were made. From microbial stress responses to solubility issue and functionality matters, and from valorizing side streams … Read more
Session Report: “Nourishing a Growing World – Food Transition for a Healthy Planet and Healthy Lives” At the 2025 edition of Knowledge for Growth, organized by flanders.bio (now launched as BioVia!), bio-solutions in food was explored in a compelling session dedicated to innovations in the agrifood sector. In a collaboration with The ProteInn Club, the … Read more
The production of fermentation-based proteins is rapidly gaining importance within the food and biotechnology sectors. Yet, an overview of which feedstocks – both primary and by-products – can already be converted into proteins, with which microorganisms, and for which applications, often remains fragmented. The ProteInn Club has addressed this challenge by developing an interactive knowledge … Read more
Making soft cheeses with milk protein without animal cells, producing a protein alternative to fish meal on ethanol starting from industrial emissions (CO2), harvesting new raw materials for food and feed from residual streams from the food industry. These are existing examples of a promising, innovative technology: microbial protein. ILVO and Bio Base Europe Pilot … Read more
The 16th of May, an interesting focus debate was held at the Knowledge For Growth conference by Flanders.bio in Antwerp about the unexplored potential of precision fermentation for agrifood. The ProteInn Club gladly accepted the assignment to lead the debate on how to accelerate innovation and production of these fermentation based proteins. We share some … Read more
The ProteInn Club at the main stage of FTI Ghent, the place to be for innovation in biotech and health. For an uncommon show! Charming feedstock providers and ambitious protein producers were hunting for their ideal ❤️ not-so-BLIND DATE! Wim Soetaert took us along the fascinating world of microbial protein and innovative chain formation, where collaboration … Read more
