Check out what some of the FoodTech 500 Alumni have been up to lately with our latest round-up (July 2025 Edition)

The upcycled food industry is at a turning point. With a global market size of $54 billion, the sector has shown promise but remained fragmented through isolated product launches. TransFoodMission's latest position paper reveals why the future lies in building dedicated, multi-brand upcycled food categories within retail. The Rohlik Group case study demonstrates this strategy's success, generating €120,000 in net sales while rescuing 7.3 tonnes of food surplus and avoiding 51 tonnes of CO2 emissions in just four months.

Predictive modeling powered by AI and machine learning is transforming food formulation and manufacturing. From simulating ingredient interactions to optimizing production processes, these tools are helping companies cut R&D time by up to 60%, reduce waste, and make smarter data-driven decisions.

We’re witnessing a groundbreaking shift in the global food system, driven by the Ag Biotech revolution. From bioengineered crops to carbon-sequestering farms, this wave of innovation is making our agriculture more sustainable, resilient, and productive.
