SuperGround’s novel food processing technology enables the full utilisation of fish and poultry sidestreams, creating nutritious products that can be directly consumed or incorporated into processed foods such as fish fingers and patties. By valorising by-products, reducing food waste and enhancing resource efficiency, the company aims to contribute to a more sustainable future in food production.
This latest funding round, which was led by Hatch Blue’s Blue Revolution Fund, will facilitate SuperGround’s transition from pilot operations to full-scale commercial production. Additionally, the funding will support efforts to secure commercial partnerships, integrating SuperGround’s innovative technology into the fish and poultry markets.
"We are thrilled to have the support of Hatch Blue’s Blue Revolution Fund, whose strategic investment will be instrumental as we move from innovation to commercialisation. This partnership not only validates the potential of our technology but also accelerates our vision to become a leading global innovator in upcycled protein-based consumer products. With BRF backing, we’re poised to bring our solutions to market and create meaningful change in the food and fish industry,” said Jaakko Kaminen, CEO of SuperGround, in a press release.
"If the world will in fact run into a shortage of low-cost fish and livestock-based protein, which will depend heavily on how governments are going to subsidise mass animal production in the future and how vegetarian, vegan and cell-based alternatives will catch up, then SuperGround’s technology is perfectly placed to become a global standard in fish and livestock downstream processing,” added Carsten Krome, managing partner at Hatch Blue.
