## About

Founded in 2021 and based in Horgen, Switzerland, Food Brewer AG operates as a food and food ingredients company specializing in plant cell cultures of cocoa and coffee. In January 2024, the firm raised CHF 5 million in seed funding led by investors Zürcher Kantonalbank and Max Felchlin AG. The company focuses on securing food resources through cell culture-based production methods. Food Brewer specializes in three primary categories: cocoa production, coffee for brewing, and sustainable fats for culinary applications. The firm created cell lines from plant samples to grow coffee and cocoa in bioreactors under controlled environmental conditions, ensuring optimal cell replication and sustenance. By utilizing biotechnology-based cell culture techniques, Food Brewer aims to address global food security challenges while reducing the environmental impact associated with traditional agricultural practices. The company plans to utilize the January 2024 funding to build a production facility, invest in R&D for its cell lines, and create a business plan.
