About us

Technologies such as precision and biomass fermentation as well as cellular agriculture offer the potential to drastically reduce the land and CO2 footprints of food and feed production. This is a potential avenue to produce food and feed for a growing world population whilst respecting the limits of the planet. With ERIDIA, we want to accelerate the development of this market and offer solutions to meet the rising global demand for food and feed while reducing the impact on the environment, in particular arable land.

Scale up from Lab to Industrial Production

ERIDIA focuses on biotech solutions primarily for food and feed industries, as well as energy and commodity chemicals. The capabilities extend from engineering (feasibility study, concept design, basic design, detail design) to delivery of process equipment.
