Moolec Science (Accelerator)

Company Description: Moolec Science is an Ag-Foodtech company consolidating a unique pipeline of projects and capabilities in the Molecular Farming space, with more than one decade under development. Its mission is to improve the affordability of animal-free solutions in favour of true sustainability. The company’s technological approach will have the cost structure of plant-based solutions with the organoleptic properties and functionality of cell-based platforms, an approach at least 10x more cost effective than leading alternatives. With a proof of concept for the cheese market, the team is known for being the first to produce bovine chymosin in safflower, a functional protein commercialized under the SPC® brand. A family of international patents currently covers this platform, with SPC® events fully de-regulated for cost-effective large-scale production. Currently, the company is consolidating different research lines to produce unique blends of highly functional proteins from bovine and porcine origins in protein-rich crops such as soybean and peas, creating a new generation of meat analogues. Moolec is run by a diverse team with operations in the United States, Europe, and South America.
