Startup Profile
ÄIO's positive can-do attitude drives its commitment to trustworthy biotechnological innovation, fueling its passion for shaping our planet’s future with healthy fats and oils. Our team of scientists are dedicated to creating innovative, healthy, and reliable microbial alternatives to replace unsustainable ingredients like palm oil, coconut oil, and animal fats. How do we do it? By harnessing the power of microorganisms up-cycling low-value side streams in our tailored fermentation processes.
The problem we're solving
With every meal we enjoy, we put more and more pressure on our planet, contributing actively to deforestation, water and soil pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and loss of biodiversity.
Our solution
By utilizing locally available by-products and side streams from the food, agricultural and wood industry we produce high-value ingredients through a more inclusive and sustainable approach. Our aim is to reduce the use of palm and coconut oil, mineral oils and substitute animal-based lipid products.
Our differentiator
Through biotechnology, ÄIO rethinks food systems and redefines beauty – with our proprietary technology, we combine science, health, and sustainability with competitive pricing (with profit). • Circular economy and food security – we upcycle locally sourced side streams to produce high value B2B ingredients for food, feed, cosmetics, and oleochemical industries. • One process to rule them all – we produce alternatives to palm oil, coconut and animal fats through a versatile and robust fermentati
Biggest achievement
A motivated team eager to future-shape the oils and fats market.
