Melt&Marble is a company focused on enabling the plant-based food industry by providing innovative fat solutions that are both environmentally friendly and palatable. Utilizing precision fermentation, Melt&Marble produces animal fats without the use of animals by engineering microbial metabolism. This approach allows the company to control the structure and properties of the fats generated, enabling the creation of fats that can closely mimic traditional animal fats or even develop entirely new formulations. By generating yeast cell factories through advanced bioengineering techniques, Melt&Marble empowers food manufacturers to enhance the taste and health profile of plant-based foods, aiming to make them as appealing and nutritious as their animal-based counterparts.

AltraTech designs biosensors and semiconductor chips for DNA testing to support food traceability in the agriculture sector. Incorporated in 2013 and based in Shannon, Ireland, the company also develops a portable viral detection device that combines enrichment and semiconductor techniques to match the sensitivity and specificity of PCR in a compact form, enabling rapid and accurate measurement of viral DNA, RNA, antigens, or antibodies for diagnostics.
