- Congratulations to Matr Foods, one of our RisingFoodStars, who has taken a giant leap forward with a €20 million loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB). This funding, backed by the InvestEU initiative, will support the construction of their first full-scale production facility and further investment in R&D. MATR’s innovative plant-based meat alternatives, created through groundbreaking solid-state fermentation technology, are set to revolutionise the food industry. By using locally sourced crops like beetroots, potatoes, lupins, and peas, MATR is not only delivering healthier and tastier food options but also aligns with the EU’s goals of creating greener food systems. With this support, MATR will be able to produce over 3,000 tonnes of their signature fungi-based products per year, achieving a 94% lower carbon footprint compared to traditional beef! Well done to Randi Wahlsten and the whole MATR team!
