Cultivating Sustainable Solutions in FoodTech

• Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
• Land and Resource Efficiency.
• Biodiversity and Conservation.

By promoting plant-based and lab-grown alternatives, The Kitchen’s startups are actively reducing the reliance on traditional animal-based products. Plant-based and cultivated meat production generates lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to traditional livestock farming. This shift not only addresses ethical concerns but also plays a crucial role in supporting biodiversity by alleviating the environmental impact associated with conventional livestock farming.

• Healthy nutrition: The Kitchen’s portfolio products offer nutritional benefits, contributing to a healthier lifestyle: less added sugar, and more clean-label foods.
• Multiple job creation in Israel in local plants: The Kitchen portfolio companies have created more than 350 jobs over the years.
• Gender equality in managerial positions, including a variety of senior technological positions (42% female from the startup CEOs)
• Supporting the growth of the local FoodTech community through The Kitchen’s ongoing activity: Creating business relationships between startups and F&B companies, holding events that provide support and opportunities for the entire community on a quarterly basis, and hosting FoodTechIL, one of the significant global FoodTech summits that play a major role in promoting business and commercialization in the local FoodTech community.

• Food safety: Within our portfolio, our startups are actively developing pioneering technologies tailored to elevate food safety standards across diverse countries, each presenting its unique set of regulatory challenges.
• Standard of ethics: The Kitchen has a set of investment rules for choosing the right company to invest in. We exclusively support early-stage ventures that share a primary mission—to contribute to the health and sustainability of our planet.
