Novozymes launches Myco-protein Innovation Call platform

In Denmark, Novozymes launched the Myco-protein Innovation Call, a global platform to cultivate new business collaborations to scale up the most promising innovations and ideas around how to use fungi as a source of protein as a way to rethink the way we manufacture and source protein globally.

Novozymes has created a space where companies focused on new ways of working with myco-proteins can benefit from synergies across themes and functions. The Innovation Call invites start-ups, research centers, academics, corporates, NGOs, and public entitites focused on new ideas within alternative proteins – and more specifically fungal mycelium – in food ingredients and products to apply to co-create and innovate the future of sustainable protein.

Applications are accepted on an on-going basis, and there are two key dates where their team will review applications: November 15th, 2021 and January 31st, 2022.
