With just one week to go until The Future of Protein Production Amsterdam (29-30 October), there’s still time to secure your place! 🎟️ Whether you’re planning to explore the free exhibition or want the full conference experience, we’ve got you covered – and you can still claim an exclusive 10% discount here.
As the countdown continues, we’ve been speaking with some of the experts who’ll be sharing their insights next week. From rethinking early-stage biotech investment to financing the next wave of fermentation and broadening the protein toolbox, the conversations you can read below offer a taste of what’s to come in Amsterdam.
Elsewhere this week, precision fermentation takes a major step forward as a pioneering team demonstrates world-first industrial production of casein from cheese whey – a development that could transform the dairy alternatives landscape.
In other news, a plant-based innovator is entering the pet nutrition market with a meat-like leaf protein and a US distribution deal, while researchers in the cell-cultivated meat space open up key cell lines to accelerate global R&D collaboration.
And from regulatory progress in Australia and New Zealand to a €40 million boost for fermentation-based meat alternatives, momentum across the sector continues to build. Could this be the most dynamic quarter yet for alternative proteins?
Dive into all the stories below – and we’ll see many of you in Amsterdam next week!
