💸 Our massive review of the investment landscape in the Q2 2024 edition of Protein Production Technology International was based on interviews with 10 experts in the financial community, from around the world. 🌍 🇮🇱 An example of a future-focused approach to investment in alt proteins can be found in Israel, which is (not coincidentally) also home to many thriving startups. The Kitchen Hub is a food-tech incubator and seed investor that was founded by the Strauss Group. Jonathan Berger is CEO of The Kitchen Hub and he is proud of the role that organizations such as his can play in accelerating the development and adoption of alternative proteins. But what exactly does this role involve? “Like everyone else, we tend to think that we are unique,” laughs Berger. “But recognizing that biased position, I can say that we have been operating for nine years now, incubating 29 companies for at least two years each.” 💡 And Berger acknowledges it has been a steep learning curve. “Along the way, we have accumulated many mistakes. We are trying not to make the same mistake twice and we are providing the newer companies with all of our accumulated learnings.” 📰 Get insights from Berger and other experts on the investment landscape, by reading the full feature in the latest issue of our magazine. 👇 🔗https://hubs.ly/Q02vkH7L0 #investment #foodtech #innovation #proteinproduction #alternativeproteins
