The main sector of the food production industry is changing to investigate more sustainable food options and different sources of protein. Because of its advantages in terms of sustainability and health, microalgae is one viable substitute.

Phycom’s CFO Willem Kuijsten says, “This additional funding of ROM Utrecht Region boosts our confidence even more in the potential of our company and our algae products. It paves the way to strengthen our proposition, growth of the organisation, and go-to-market strategy even further.”

Marco Verloop, alderman of municipality Veenendaal, with the finance, economy, and sustainability portfolio, adds, “In our environmental strategy, we strive for a healthy, sustainable, and safe Veenendaal. We also continuously improve our location policy, business climate, and employer services. The investment of ROM Utrecht in Phycom fits within these ambitions, and we wholeheartedly applaud it.”

Juri van Dolderen, ROM Utrecht Region says, “ROM Utrecht Region invests in companies that make the world of tomorrow a better place. Phycom and its microalgae are a perfect fit, as microalgae are a critical element in the protein transition. Phycom can be a game-changer for the industry and can significantly reduce the food industry’s enormous footprint. ROM Utrecht Region is proud to contribute to this important development.”
