Alternative fats and oils are key to reproducing the taste, aroma and texture of meat and dairy substitutes, while being sustainable for the planet (minimal resources, no deforestation) and human health (no cholesterol, antibiotics, hormones). 55 startups on the case 🥓🥛 Let us know what ones we should add. https://lnkd.in/et7mdxYK Lorenzo Chiavarini Eglantine Dupuy #alternativeprotein #alternativefats #sustainablefood #startups #foodtech #agtech

“Silicon Valley has been a transformative chapter of my life!” Those are the words of Olivia Adrover, who along with five other talented Danish students have been on a unique journey during Spring 2024 working at bioinnovation startups in Silicon Valley. This week, we celebrated graduation of our International Bioinnovation Program Scholars: Cristina-Genoveva Bodnari, Javier Lopez Bort, Emma Cathrine Liisborg Leschly, Mette Bøge Pedersen, Olivia Adrover, and Kasper Krunderup Jakobsen ✨ After five enlightening months in Silicon Valley, our scholars have completed their journey, working at the startups Modality.AI, Mirvie, Yali Bio, ResVita Bio, Ivy Natal, and Prolific Machines, Inc. They've gained invaluable experience in entrepreneurship and innovation, bridging the gap from lab to market. To celebrate, we held an event to mark their achievements and the incredible journey they've been on. During the event, the scholars had a chance to present their learnings and receive feedback from Managing Partner at SV Venture Group, Jordan Wahbeh, and Senior Advisor at Innovation Centre Denmark Silicon Valley, Jon Therkildsen - thank you both for sharing your expertise! Recapping the experience, Olivia Adrover says: "Over five months, I've learned to bridge the gap from lab to market, fundamentally changing my approach to work and life. This journey has sparked a passion for innovation and a commitment to living with purpose and impact. Here's to shaping the future and making a difference!" The Novo Nordisk Foundation's sponsorship makes this journey for these talented individuals possible, with the program being led by Innovation Centre Denmark Silicon Valley.
