Description
Ÿnsect is the world leader in the production of insect protein and natural insect fertilizers. Founded in 2011 in Paris, France, by both scientists and environmental activists, Next40 and B Corp-certified, the company processes insects into high-end, high-value ingredients to feed the entire food chain: plants, animals, and humans. From its purpose-built state-of-the-art farms, Ÿnsect offers a long-term, sustainable, organic solution. Ÿnsect uses disruptive technology protected by more than 380 patents, to raise its Molitor mealworms in highly automated vertical farms, creating value chains fully aligned with the Paris COP21 Agreement +1,5°C scenario, and then with the EU Fit for 55 target. Ÿnsect runs three production sites spread in Europe and the USA, and the new one, the world's largest vertical farm, in Amiens in France, is currently under trials. The company, which employs more than 300 people, has raised around $645million from major investment funds, banks and public entities and exports its products around the world.
