Miruku Secures Additional Funding for Successful Implementation of Plant-Based Dairy Technology

Food Applications.jpg
While the food tech investment sector figured itself out last year, Miruku, a New Zealand-based food tech company, was busy getting ahead of molecular farming technology. Since the seed round, the company made advancements in its proprietary dairy seed system. Initially, Miruku focused on programming plants to produce dairy proteins that could be extracted from seeds. That approach has since expanded to leverage interactions between recombinant dairy casein and native plant proteins, with or without improved fatty acid profiles. It was led by Motion Capital and included seed round investor Movac and new investor NZVC.
