Nizo
Exhibitor
Information
NIZO provides food and biotechnology research, process development and food grade pilot-scale capabilities, helping companies investigate and demonstrate how ingredients and production technologies behave under realistic manufacturing conditions and in food applications. Its expertise spans fermentation, protein functionality, food safety, process technology, health, digestion and nutrition, sensory science and scale-up.
Within the Dutch National Growthfund Cellular Agriculture Netherlands and co-funded by OostNL and NIZO, NIZO is realizing an open access upscaling facility on the Food Innovation Park grounds specifically for product and process validation of (precision) fermentation technologies in food and ingredients. The Biotechnology Fermentation Factory (BFF) will range food grade screening and upscaling facilities from 1L - 10,000L, with direct connect to NIZO's food grade pilot plant for downstream processing and analytics. The BFF is planned to be operational in 2027.
Recent activity of NIZO and BFF includes participation in ECOFERM, a Dutch consortium exploring continuous fermentation with in-situ biomass retention, as well as biotechnology infrastructure development. NIZO and BFF are also collaborating with Cibus Nexum on a workshop (Day 1, 11:30) examining the technical and commercial journey from laboratory innovation to industrial production. Visitors can discuss experimental development, pilot trials, process optimization and the evidence needed before committing to larger-scale manufacturing.
