AlProtein

AlProtein is developing a next-generation alternative protein platform based on water lentils, grown in shallow desert ponds on brackish water and non-arable land. Per kg of raw material, our lentils need about 25 L of water and 0.14 m² of land, and can yield up to 10,000 kg of protein per hectare per year, compared with 630 for soy and 704 for pea. Our AI platform, trained on about 1.6 million datapoints, predicts growing conditions with 96.4% accuracy, and our 50,000-litre facility in Cairo runs at TRL 7. Our portfolio includes RuBiPro™, a 60%+ protein ingredient designed to replace synthetic methylcellulose in plant-based meat and dairy alternatives at 3 to 5 times lower cost than competing ingredients; CheesePro™, a 60%+ protein concentrate for plant-based cheese; and GreenPulse™, a 30%+ protein powder with a DIAAS score of 109% for food, nutrition, supplements, and premium pet food. We are working with F&B manufacturers across Europe and MENA to validate and commercialize these ingredients, with $2.1M+ in signed LOIs from five manufacturers and $15,600 in paid sample sales to date. As we scale, we are expanding into new applications and channels, including hospitality, wellness, and premium pet nutrition, while building the production and regulatory capabilities required for commercial-scale adoption. Our mission is to make high-quality protein production sustainable, scalable, and resource-independent.
