Remilk and Gad Dairies pour the future of dairy with Israel’s first cow-free milk

A lot’s been happening this week – new milestones in dairy-free innovation, major funding wins, breakthroughs in biomanufacturing, and even a few big questions about where global food-tech leadership really lies.

This week, we lead with a story from Israel, where a new kind of milk is hitting the shelves – completely free from cows but promising all the taste and nutrition of the real thing.

While some regions push ahead, others may be losing momentum. A new report out of Brussels warns that Europe’s innovators are starting to scale their ideas elsewhere. Could a lack of supportive frameworks be holding the continent back?

Innovation certainly isn’t slowing in Asia, where Singapore is investing more than US$30 million to boost R&D in future foods and food safety, and a major yeast producer has opened a huge new facility to meet growing demand for sustainable protein ingredients.

In the USA, one pioneering player in precision fermentation just raised another US$55 million to expand the reach of its egg proteins, while a breakthrough in continuous biomanufacturing could reshape how fermentation-based products are made at scale.

Meanwhile, a French-Australian venture has secured fresh funding to transform side streams into nutritious bakery ingredients, showing how upcycling and sustainability can go hand in hand. And finally, a new report from Oxford is calling for more nuance – and less polarization – in the conversation around alternative proteins. A timely reminder that innovation isn’t just about science, but also about balance.
