Without animal suffering, without environmental damage, leading to a healthy and affordable life for all people.
acib's vision is a world without suffering and with affordable access to food and medicine for all the people on this world. acib's mission is to enable cost-effective and environmentally friendly new processes and products through the development of new technologies.
Background
As a non-profit R&D organization with 200+ experts, we need the support of committed companies and individuals to make the world a better place. Dr. Franz Kühtreiber founded the DFK Foundation for the purpose of avoiding animal suffering, which continues to contribute to this cause after his death by supporting acib projects. For example, new growth factors are currently being developed to produce animal-free, cultured meat in bioreactors at lower cost, and haemoglobins and myoglobins are being produced in yeasts as important flavour carriers and iron suppliers to improve the taste and nutritional value of cultured meat, vegetarian or vegan products, and to develop higher-quality alternatives to meat consumption.
All research results from these projects are made available free of charge to companies, scientists and the general public.
