Biotechnology company specializing in the breeding of insects for animal and plant food MoreLess
InnovaFeed is a leading French startup that specializes in the production of insect-based protein for animal feed. The company uses a proprietary technology to breed Hermetia Illucens, a type of insect, and convert them into a sustainable and natural solution for feeding livestock and plants. This innovative approach is aimed at revolutionizing the agri-food industry by reintroducing insects into the food chain.
The company's clients are primarily in the animal farming sector, including fish farms, which use the insect protein as a sustainable alternative to traditional feed. The business operates in the global agriculture sector, with a focus on the US market. It recently raised €140 million in funding, which will be used to construct a new production facility in the US, in partnership with American agri-food giant ADM. This new facility, located in Decatur, Illinois, is set to be the world's largest insect protein facility, indicating the company's significant growth potential.
InnovaFeed's business model revolves around the production and sale of insect-based protein. The company generates revenue by selling its product to animal farmers and other agri-food businesses. It also invests heavily in research and development to improve its proprietary insect breeding technology and expand its production capabilities.
InnovaFeed recently completed the construction of a vertical farm in Nesle, France, and is planning to build an even larger facility in the US. This expansion strategy, backed by significant funding, positions the company well for future growth in the burgeoning insect protein market.
