SMOBYA, founded in 2022, is poised to revolutionize material manufacturing with its proprietary technology. Prominently, the company uses fermentation to convert simple sugars into high-performance biomaterials. These innovations promise to disrupt the alt-leather space and have applications in industries such as insulation materials and cosmetics, among others.
SMOBYA's mission emphasizes environmental sustainability by upcycling food waste and reducing dependency on petrochemicals, synthetics, and plastics. The process offers a high degree of resource efficiency and results in materials that boast superior performance compared to existing options.
Recently, the company received a Support Program investment on 01 January 2024 from EIT Climate-KIC, reflecting strong endorsement from a notable climate innovation investor. This backing positions SMOBYA well as it innovates towards a more sustainable material future.
