Today, Novo Holdings announced an initial investment in Danish food-tech start-up Matr Foods to support the scaling-up of its production of sustainable meat alternatives.   Established in Copenhagen in 2021, MATR Foods specialises in developing organic innovative plant-based meat alternatives using traditional fungal fermentation techniques. The Company’s flagship product, MATR Fungi Mince, has an amino acid profile like meat, but with a carbon footprint of just 1.4 kg CO2 e per kg, which is 94% lower than that of beef.
