Protealis, launched as a spin-off built around the scientific knowledge of VIB and ILVO, develops superior seed and coating technologies for leguminous crops, which are adapted to a Northern geographical region and climate.

As such, the company will help the agricultural sector to sustainably grow more non-GMO, local, protein crops and thus meet the increasing demand for vegetable alternatives both from consumers and the food sector.

Korys is very excited to be able to make a valuable contribution to this investment from its various core activities. It is an absolute asset to be able to count on the scientific competences of the Life Science ecosystem on the one hand, and to be able to leverage the market knowledge of the Korys team through the Conscious Consumer activities on the other.
