OUR JOURNEY SO FAR

Since 2010 BioscienZ B.V. has been paving the road for The Protein Brewery by developing proprietary technologies in the field of “Producing Food without Animals “ and “Growing Crops without Chemicals“. The Protein Brewery split off from BioscienZ in 2019. The agro- and industrial biotechnology projects remained within BioscienZ, while the production of food proteins by means of fermentation are continued within The Protein Brewery. All personnel and facilities were migrated to The Protein Brewery as well as our location in Breda. BioscienZ restarted it’s contract research activities with new staff in Ghent, Belgium.

Our different milestones so far:

2021

Launch of Fermotein™ from 2021 onwards as an ingredient for meat substitutes, processed meats, bread, protein bars, bakery products and more.

2020

Securing funding for Demo plant and Food Experience Centre

2019

2017

2014

Start development of propriety solutions, supported by winning various government support awards.

Building a reputation for world-leading fermentation technology expertise, including molecular biology, microbial production process and scaling up production.

Expanding development space with a second lab.

2010

As our fouding in 2010, we focused on contract research, consultancy and coordinating projects and started research in an external lab

OUR PIPELINE

We continue to make this world more sustainable and a healthy place to live for future generations. Therefore we continue to improve our existing products and develop new products.

1. Making Fermotein™ even more healthy.

2. Developing other protein products that replace animal protein, e.g. egg-white.
