The Proteinnovation Discovery Summit took place a week ago—a day marked by innovation, exchange, and an extraordinary community.

Startups, researchers, industry representatives, and policymakers came together to discuss current challenges and new approaches to solutions in the field of proteins. The open dialogue and diversity of perspectives demonstrated once again how important collaboration is for real progress.

A highlight of the summit have been the startup pitches:

From over 100 applications, 10 finalists were selected to present their ideas. The winners were ultimately Decameal from Denmark and Vortair from Australia.

In addition to the substantive insights, it was above all the atmosphere that made the day special—marked by energy, new connections, and a shared goal: to actively shape the future of protein innovation.

A heartfelt thank you to all partners, speakers, startups, jury members, and participants who made this summit possible.

The momentum continues—and we look forward to everything that will come of it.
