Umiami

Umiami, a pioneering French foodtech company, was established in 2020 with a mission to mitigate global meat consumption and its negative repercussions on health, animals, and the environment. Their innovative patent-pending "umisation" process is at the forefront of the plant-based protein sector, allowing the recreation of meat and fish textures without sacrificing taste or quality.

Positioned in the Food and Beverage industry, Umiami recently launched its first large-scale production facility in Duppigheim, France. This 14,000m2 plant is designed to produce 7,500 tonnes annually, starting with a 100% plant-based chicken fillet aimed at food processing and catering companies. This expansion is a testament to their capacity to scale and meet rising demand.

The company's growth narrative has attracted notable investors like Newfund, Bpifrance, Astanor Ventures, Redalpine, Verso Capital, and Athletico Ventures, culminating in a recent €32.50M Series A round in October 2023. This funding positions Umiami for further innovation and expansion in the competitive plant-based market.
