AAK has partnered with Big Idea Ventures (BIV) to accelerate the development of ingredient solutions for alternative meat and dairy products.

AAK will invest in BIV's New Protein Fund I. This niche fund is focusing on early-stage ventures within the plant- and cell-based meat, seafood, and dairy products, as well as ingredients and technologies that facilitate the growth of these categories.

Partnering with BIV will give AAK an additional platform to support the fast-growing categories of meat and dairy alternatives.

At the end of last year, AAK joined the MISTA innovation platform in San Francisco, USA. In addition, AAK recently announced its establishment of a Plant-based Foods Global Center of Excellence in the Netherlands, set to be operational later this year.
