MicroHarvest GmbH

MicroHarvest is a biotechnology company that produces sustainable protein ingredients through microbial fermentation, using agricultural byproducts as feedstock. Their proprietary technology allows them to produce protein ingredients much faster and using significantly less water and space compared to animal or plant-derived ingredients. The dried biomass is then combined with other ingredients to make food products, with applications ranging from feed to pet food and human food. The company was founded in April 2021 and is led by Co-Founder & CEO Katelijne Bekers, Executive MBA with a background in biotechnology, Co-Founder & CTO Luisa Cruz PhD, bringing over 10 years leading R&D roles and Co-Founder & COO Jonathan Roberz, an experienced entrepreneur who has already successfully built and exited a technology start-up. Their ambition is to boldly push technological boundaries in the ingredients industry to drive impact across the whole protein value chain.
