Dairy proteins without using animals
Meet Bon Vivant, an EIT Food startup based in France. They are a pioneering biotech firm specialising in precision fermentation methods to produce dairy proteins without animals, reducing environmental footprint and empowering clients to create environmentally conscious, nutritionally rich dairy products.
1) What is your idea?
“We produce milk proteins through precision fermentation, enabling dairy producers to make dairy products with far less environmental impact, without giving up either pleasure or nutritional qualities. Our mission is to accompany and accelerate the sustainable transition of the dairy products sector, which complements conventional animal production, by providing producers with functional and sustainable milk proteins, considerably reducing their environmental impact.”
2) Where can we find your products?
“Our products are not yet on the market, but we aim to hit the US market first, around 2027, following with European and Israeli market. As we are a B2B company, we'll sell our proteins to dairy industrials for them to produce dairy products with less impact.”
3) How has EIT Food helped you on your journey?
“EIT Food has developed a broad and deep ecosystem. Not only with startups but also corporates that want to support the development of new technologies. It is a real advantage.”
