FarmInsect is an agritech startup that enables farmers to produce their own sustainable protein feed.
In the EU, over 90% of protein feeds such as soy and fish meal have to be imported. This leads to burning rainforests and overfishing of the oceans with high CO2 emissions.

Solid-liquid-reactions hide behind different names, but you can find them almost everywhere: for example, in mass production of pharmaceuticals and vaccines, in the treatment of waste or drinking water, but also in the chemical and food industry. A fast, cheap, resource-efficient, simple, and easily scalable process would be convenient here. To achieve this with the highest possible mass transport it´s essential to use very small particles. We provide the solution for this with a revolutionary technology: the planetary rotating bed reactor.

We always wondered why it’s generally all in or all out when it comes to alcohol. Why drinking culture needs to be associated with toxic behaviour and undesirable side effects. Why better-for-you drinks are completely alcohol free. It’s a fundamental challenge, especially in the German market where alcohol consumption is high. So we decided to take on the task of creating a better-for-you drink with low alcohol volume.
Our solution: LikeLouis EUPHORIC TEA: It’s tea fermented with probiotics, resulting in a 100% plant-based, low alcohol, low calorie and gut-friendly drink with a crisp finish that’s better for you than regular alcoholic drink.

In grassland, weeds such as dock and ragwort cause high yield losses and even the death of cows and horses when they gain the upper hand in meadows and pastures. Since the EU organic regulation prohibits organic farmers from using herbicides, they have to resort to very labour- and time-intensive manual control. With our robots, we offer organic farmers the first automated herbicide-free alternative.
