🚀 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐡 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒! 🚀 In a couple of weeks we’ll set off from Ghent to the deep Finnish North to attend Slush 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒, Europe’s leading tech & startup event. This year's theme: 𝑀𝐸𝑇𝐴𝑀𝑂𝑅𝑃𝐻𝑂𝑆𝐼𝑆—𝐴 𝐶𝐴𝐿𝐿 𝐹𝑂𝑅 𝑅𝐴𝐷𝐼𝐶𝐴𝐿 𝑇𝑅𝐴𝑁𝑆𝐹𝑂𝑅𝑀𝐴𝑇𝐼𝑂𝑁, couldn’t be more fitting for what #biotechnology is bringing to the game.

At AmphiStar, our mission is bold: to 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦. Surfactants are part of many moments of our daily lives, necessary ingredients in products we use every day—think cleaning and washing products, toothpaste, hand soaps, and skincare essentials! These are products we trust for ourselves and our loved ones, so why compromise between 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞? Our solutions offer ingredients that are 𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥, 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐢𝐫𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫—a transformation that home and personal care industries have been waiting for. 👋 𝑆𝑒𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒!

So why is this milestone so important? 🚀It’s a milestone that talks about our 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒓𝒐𝒃𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒅𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍 🚀It’s proof of the 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒍 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒓 🚀It shows the 𝒗𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒔 𝒘𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒂𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆, 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕 𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 This achievement brings us closer to our goal of making sustainable biosurfactants a commercial reality. 🌿💧 A huge thank you to our team for their unwavering commitment and passion and, in extension, to the SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen team for pushing us to push our boundaries.
