Biofect Innovations (Accelerator)

Company Description: Biofect Innovations is a biotech startup on a mission to harness the power of microbes to create a kinder, healthier, and more sustainable food system. Using similar technology used to make beer, wine, and insulin, Biofect combines advanced biotechnology with traditional fermentation technology to create microbes capable of efficiently producing functional molecules that are structurally and functionally equivalent to those found in nature. With their approach, resource-demanding ingredients can be made sustainably, bypassing traditional agricultural constraints. As an initial focus, the company is working on producing functional plant ingredients such as high-intensity protein sweeteners, 2000x sweeter than sugar. Importantly, Biofect's technology platform is adaptable which paves the way for future production of a range of high-value ingredients, broadening their impact on the food & beverage industry and beyond.
