Not on its own<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
“In Brabant, we are working on smart solutions to our societal challenges, such as the protein transition,” said provincial executive Martijn van Gruijthuijsen. “Under the motto ‘Brabant, the Scale-Up Plant of Europe,’ in five years, we want to be known nationally and internationally as the scale-up hotspot for plant-based startups. I am confident of this, thanks to our unique combination of a robust agrifood sector and a strong high-tech manufacturing industry.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Developing a functional food ingredient is already challenging, but scaling it up to a commercial version requires a lot of knowledge, skill, and capital,” said Brigit van Dijk-van de Reijt, CEO of BOM. “Startups cannot do that entirely on their own. The scale-up plant provides the knowledge, facilities and network to cash in on the opportunities that plantbased offers for Brabant. In this way, we can offer plant-based food as a realistic alternative and smartly market our knowledge and innovations (internationally).”<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brabant will facilitate a network of accessible pilot, demo, and full-scale facilities. In addition, long-term sector-specific support will be set up for start-ups in the scale-up phase. Existing companies can also join the initiative and, for example, use part of their capacity to collaborate with start-ups. The partners will also work on international positioning, acquisition, and collaborations with international startups. Where possible, BOM will invest in participating food startups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The future is plant-based, and the transition to sustainable food systems is an essential part of this.
