Biosafe at the Future of Protein Production (FPP) Chicago

At the end of February, Biosafe had the pleasure of attending the Future of Protein Production (FPP) event in Chicago, one of the leading international forums focused on next‑generation protein and food system innovation. The trip was especially enjoyable as our Sales Director Janne had the opportunity to travel together with Biosafe's expert partner in the USA, Dr. Michele Champagne, and to spend several days immersed in insightful discussions with companies, innovators, and industry leaders from across the globe.

The event offered a valuable platform for exchanging perspectives on topics such as precision fermentation, cultivated protein technologies, and novel approaches to scaling sustainable food solutions. The breadth and depth of innovation on display once again highlighted how rapidly this field is advancing. At the same time, many conversations touched on a shared industry challenge: securing sufficient funding to support the transition from promising technologies to commercial reality. Recently the feeling has been that the money is tight, the purses are closed, and it often feels like the only thing the world finds almost unlimited money for is guns and ammo.

Despite these hurdles, the commitment and creativity within the sector remain strong and encouraging.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone we met and connected with during FPP Chicago. We look forward to continuing these discussions and exploring opportunities for collaboration as the protein and food innovation ecosystem continues to evolve.

If you’re planning an EU novel food dossier, mapping a US GRAS strategy, or building a safety data package for microbial or fermentation-derived ingredients, let’s talk.
