Founded in 2015 by CEO Julian Melchiorri, Arborea is industrializing photosynthesis to expand the world’s food supply. The start-up has developed a breakthrough ingredients and proteins production platform that solves the crucial issues of existing photosynthetic culture platforms. Arborea’s cultivation technology for photosynthetic microorganisms mimics the functioning mechanisms of a real leaf. In doing so, it has created a radically more effective food production platform resulting in a capital-light, scalable solution that slashes the costs of fermentation. Arborea is on a mission to make healthy and sustainable food the primary choice for everyone by enabling hitherto expensive nutritional ingredients and proteins to be produced sustainably, efficiently, and affordably.
