In this episode, I’m joined by Lauri Reuter, founding partner at Nordic FoodTech VC. We go deep into the mechanics of food tech. Not the kind you see on supermarket shelves, but the kind powering the supply chain, transforming ingredients, and reshaping global agriculture.
We talk about:
Investing when consumers don’t care about sustainability
The underestimated complexity of food innovation
Case studies in ingredient and input replacement
How biotech is redesigning egg whites, chocolate, and aroma compounds
The food tech trends to ignore, and the ones to back
… and more!
