MassChallenge Switzerland day 1 in Renens and already meeting lots of fantastic potential #partners and #collaborators. Our mascot has come along for the ride this time and is looking very excited.

Our CTO Ben Williams had a great week at MassChallenge #OnTour, meeting like-minded start-ups, innovative organisations and potential future partners. We're looking forward to the rest of the programme! #community #impact

We're honoured to have been selected to take part in this. The Bears can't wait to work with the fantastic team up at @AberInnovation again!

Thanks The Times and The Sunday Times for mentioning us alongside the wonderful Carbon13. We're really proud to be working on an alternative to palm oil, which is the 3rd most impactful food on the planet that humans produce, after only meat and dairy. thetimes.co.uk/article/3c9b99…

It's the MassChallenge CH awards ceremony tonight. It's been a fantastic programme. We've learned so much and take away a huge amount from the community of stakeholders involved from organisers to participants, mentors and corporate partners. Thank you!

Big thanks to Zac over The Mad Hatter for a brilliant night had by the whole team. The cocktails were delicious and so much fun to make! The bears will be back.

It's lovely seeing a summary of our journey with @OBioinnovation labs - thanks for sharing!

We're heading into the weekend by celebrating our adoption of Kwong the sun bear. Kwong is cared for at the BSBCC They work hard to rehabilitate the bears to release into the wild wherever possible. It's very important work with so few sun bears left #sunbear

It's finally here! We're looking forward to seeing everyone and discussing sustainable sourcing of ingredients over the next 2 days.

We're at In-Cosemtics today in Paris. Meeting and making lots of great connections as we move into the next phase of our alternative oil production.

We had a great time at the #MRE2024 conference put on by Innovate UK. There was so much interest in our alternative to palm oil and it wasn't just due to bear costume 🙃 #altoil #innovation #sustainability

Sun Bear Fest is finally here! We're welcoming the ecosystem of fantastic collaborators to our HQ in Oxford for a celebration of them and all their help and support. #sunbearfest #collaboration #innovation linkedin.com/posts/sun-bear…

Sometimes you fail to appreciate what is on your doorstep. As one of our monthly outings we headed to CherwellBoathouse for a lovely leisurely punt along the river in fabulous Oxford. Nicely anchored with a yummy meal and drinks at the The Victoria Arms - Old Marston
