ChainCraft develops mixed culture fermentation technologies in order to produce sustainable biobased chemicals that are able to compete with current state of the industry-produced chemicals.

It all started with a breakthrough discovery at Wageningen University. For the first time it became clear that valuable biochemicals, in the form of medium chain fatty acids, could be produced out of organic waste streams. This could be big step forward compared to composting or digestion of organic waste to biogas. The last 10 years ChainCraft worked on this disruptive biobased innovation, scaling up from laboratory to pilot scale and then on to an operational and semi-commercial demonstration scale. As with most startup ventures it has been a challenging and bumpy road. Now at  scale-up phase, with a technically and economically viable concept, ChainCraft is ready to grow towards a competitive challenger in the chemical industry.

Pectcof has patented a preservation and extraction technology to transform and separate coffee pulp biomass into valuable bio compounds.

The preservation technology converts wet coffee pulp, coming from the wet mill, into preserved and dried coffee pulp that can be used as raw material. The extraction technology consists of novel filtration and purification techniques to separate the ingredients from the cellulose matrix.

The first product that Pectcof aims to put in the market is in the liquid stream of the process and constitutes up to 20% of the initial raw material. This product is called Dutch Gum, as it can be compared in functionality in processed foods to Arabic Gum. The product has been bench-marked against Arabic Gum in a model solution and showed to be substantially more effective in making and stabilizing emulsions. This means that companies like Coca Cola could save money by implementing this ingredient in their products as the quantity of this ingredient in the total mix could go down. An important additional asset of the process is that the side stream of the extraction, constituting about 80% of the initial biomass, is detoxified and is available for further processing.

Delivers cutting-edge, multispectral imaging systems for plant growers, researchers, and multinationals.

Individual Livestock Recognition

Serket is a software company. Our recognition software helps farmers to monitor and trace their pigs individually and automatically with any cameras. It solves the animal health and/or food safety concerns with a technology that is already available and used in other industries. Without Serket, farmers would have to use smart tagging, which is cost prohibitive for the majority.

We are a close-knit group and we already participated together in the Philips Innovation Award. Serket won us the Rockstart AI program, took 2nd place for the Nutreco Agrivision Contest with the idea, and we are currently participating in the Startupbootcamp FoodTech Program (won it). We also have a signed collaboration with the Wageningen University & Research, and plans are in motion to do a collaboration with the Kaposvar University.
