ProSeed‘s mission is to
transform the Swiss food industry by upcycling brewing by-products into
valuable raw materials. Using an innovative production unit, ProSeed offers
breweries a hassle-free solution for transforming their by-products into
food-grade raw materials, generating additional revenue while significantly
reducing waste.
ProSeed’s business model involves setting up processing units in breweries to
convert brewers’ residual grain into barley flakes, which it then sells to its
network of ingredient manufacturers. The three-step process has been patented
and the start-up has already signed letters of intent with breweries and food
manufacturers. By teaming up with a major bakery, ProSeed sold over 8,500
baguettes made from barley flake-based protein flour in three months.
With the CHF 100,000 FoodTech loan from FIT, ProSeed will optimise its
technology and increase its production capacity, with the aim of generating
revenue by 2025.
