Novozymes, a global leader in biology-based solutions for a wide range of industries, has launched a call for collaborators to help them address the growing need for advanced protein solutions.

We all know there’s increasing pressure to find sustainable sources of protein to feed the global population. Novozymes’ new Myco-Protein Innovation Call is a global platform to cultivate new business collaborations to scale up the most promising innovations and ideas around the use of fungi as a source of protein. Key areas of interest include: new technologies to cultivate fungal mycelium; up-grade of waste-streams by fungal fermentation; new ways of using fungal mycelium as protein ingredients in food products; improvements of nutritional value of plant protein sources by fermentation; and characterization and analytical tools.

Natural Products Canada is very pleased to partner with Novozymes to help them find potential collaborators in Canada. As part of that effort, we hosted a very candid information session with members of the Novozymes team to learn more about it.
