💡🧪 Biotech is the future of food — and the blueprint for how we’ll feed a growing world. Last week, Matthieu Vincent from DigitalFoodLab wrote a fantastic piece we’d like to share with you. It explored how FoodTech and Biotech are no longer separate worlds — but two sides of the same coin. Here’s what stood out to us: 👇 🔬 Biotech spans three spaces:
 Red biotech (healthcare), green biotech (agriculture), and white biotech (industrial ingredients).
And the “white” space — where microbes, fermentation, and food innovation meet — is where we see massive momentum building. 🌾 Three megatrends leading the way: 1️⃣ Resilient farming — using microorganisms to replace chemicals and make crops and feed more sustainable.
 2️⃣ Sustainable ingredients — creating animal-free proteins, coffee, cocoa, and more through precision fermentation, molecular farming and plant cell culture (PCC).
 3️⃣ Healthy ageing — developing food ingredients that actively support wellbeing. And perhaps most importantly — this isn’t a short-term hype cycle. Governments and public organizations around the world are investing heavily in biotech, seeing it as a strategic driver of innovation, jobs, and resilience. This vision deeply resonates with us. We see every day how our illuminated fermentation technology can create functional, nutritious proteins that help food manufacturers unlock the next generation of sustainable products. 🌱 Our CEO Yonatan Golan recently had a great chat with Matthieu about the industry. A big thank-you to him and the DigitalFoodLab team for continuously driving the conversation forward and helping shape the roadmap for the future of food. 🙌 #Foodtech #Biotech #Climatetech #Microalgae #Fermentation

Today, on International Coffee Day, let’s take a closer look at the future of coffee. ☕✨ 👋 Since launching our illuminated fermentation technology, we’ve seen a surge of interest from plant cell culture (PCC) innovators seeking advanced production tools — and we’re happy to support coffee pioneers with our illuminated bioreactors. 🦠💡 While most industry processes still ferment coffee cells in the dark, research shows that introducing light during culture unlocks powerful gains in both active compound yield and cell growth. Multiple peer-reviewed studies confirm that exposing Coffea spp. cultures to light — using both flask suspensions and bioreactor fermenters – indicate that illumination can increase the production of active compounds (e.g. caffeine). ✔ A suspension of C. arabica cells given constant white fluorescent light saw specific caffeine-production rates peak at 7-10 W m-2, with the rate in darkness below 20% of that maximum. Light also led to 1.4-fold faster biomass accumulation during exponential growth . ✔ In 2-L batch cultures, six days of low-intensity light triggered a steep rise in caffeine; the highest intensity tested produced ≈4× more caffeine after 20 days compared to cultures in constant darkness. ✔ Intermittent hour-scale light/dark cycles matched the caffeine yield of continuous light, nearly tripling caffeine productivity versus dark controls, while saving over half the cumulative light energy. ✔ Even low light levels activated caffeine synthesis, yielding ~5× higher specific caffeine output than darkness. ✔ In recent work, coffee cells exposed to a 16-hour photoperiod produced detectable caffeine and maintained viability under aluminium stress, while those kept in the dark produced none . Our proprietary technology is designed to scale illuminated fermentation beyond the lab, with fermenter volumes from 3.5L all the way to 5000L — unlocking new horizons for efficient production of functional compounds from coffee cells. 👉 Reach out to talk about how illuminated fermentation can redefine the future of coffee! ☕✨ #Plantcellculture #Illuminatedfermentation #Coffee #Internationalcoffeeday #Climatetech 

🔓🦠 Unlocking the full potential of microalgae. Our mission has always been to make microalgae protein accessible and affordable through our unique illuminated fermentation technology. That journey continues with partners worldwide — but we’re proud to share that our factory is also producing clean, high-quality microalgae biomass of the highest nutritional value for selected applications! We see microalgae as a true wonder plant — a resource that can be used in countless ways. This biomass, created through illuminated fermentation, brings the best of both worlds: ✨ Nutritional richness — natural microalgae benefits for wellbeing
 ✨ Scalability — produced at industrial scale in our facility
 ✨ Versatility — already used in applications like pasta and crackers By bringing biomass to market now, we’re enabling companies to explore the value of microalgae today, while together we continue building the protein solutions of tomorrow. 👉 If you’re interested in our microalgae biomass, connect with our CBO Yfah Burstin!
