Vivici expands market reach and manufacturing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Vivici has already secured the first customer offtake agreements for its dairy protein from precision fermentation. It will use the funding to expand its access into new international markets, launch its second dairy protein ingredient, and establish long-term manufacturing capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sustainable dairy protein from precision fermentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Precision fermentation \u2013 the method used by Vivici to create dairy protein \u2013 combines the process of traditional fermentation with the latest advances in biotechnology, producing proteins without the need for animals. The technology promises to sustainably meet the protein needs of the world\u2019s growing population, without compromising on price, taste, or nutritional quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith this investment, we will continue on our path to turning the promise of precision fermentation into a commercial reality. This fundraise demonstrates the confidence investors have in both our mission and our capabilities. With our Vivitein\u2122 protein platform, we\u2019re bringing a new standard of protein to the market \u2013 one that will become a mainstay of consumer protein products.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n – Stephan van Sint Fiet<\/a>, CEO of Vivici<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vivitein\u2122 BLG, an isolated whey protein (beta-lactoglobulin), is the first ingredient to be launched under the company\u2019s Vivitein\u2122 protein platform. Vivitein\u2122 BLG will offer significant sustainability benefits over conventional methods of producing protein. These include 86% less water usage and a carbon footprint that is 68% lower4 <\/sup>than conventional methods of producing dairy protein.

This makes it an appealing partner for food companies looking to unlock new potential, both now and in the long term.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Lodewijk Meens<\/a>, senior portfolio manager at ABP Netherlands Energy Transition & Biodiversity fund<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFermentation technology plays a key role in the transition to a sustainable and CO2-neutral food system. This innovative protein solution has the potential to fundamentally change food production. We are convinced that the team has the right expertise to successfully commercialize this technology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013 Victor Meijer<\/a>, Senior Investment Manager at Invest-NL<\/p>\n\n\n\n With this investment, Vivici will expand its research and production capabilities in Zuid-Holland, further positioning the region as a leading hub in the industrial biotech and protein transition. As the regional development agency for Zuid-Holland, InnovationQuarter is proud to be actively contributing to this investment round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe are enthusiastic about Vivici\u2019s mission and the team behind it. We believe in their potential to significantly reduce the global carbon footprint and create sustainable food solutions. Supporting Vivici\u2019s growth not only strengthens our local biotech and precision fermentation ecosystem, but it also aligns with our region\u2019s ambition to be a leader in industrial biotechnology and protein transition.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.innovationquarter.nl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/vivici-team-1024x684.jpg\")
