The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) has introduced the "Protein Innovation Center (PIC)," jointly operated by Bühler and Givaudan, on its overseas business information dissemination site "Business News." Opened in Singapore in April 2021, the PIC is a food lab equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. It provides startups, universities, and food manufacturers with the expertise, networks, and technology necessary to create plant-based alternative proteins. Customers can conduct trials of both high-moisture and low-moisture structured protein products using Bühler's twin-screw extruder located within the facility. In the Business News, an overview of the PIC and how to utilize it is provided, including an interview with Dr. Venkatesh, our Chief Innovation Officer.
