We are particularly interested in exploring a collaboration for Topic 2 of the 2nd Call of the FutureFoodS Partnership as it specifically falls under our area of interest and expertise.

Protiberia is open to participate in any project ideas that you could have in mind relating to insect protein or lipids as sustainable food, or the use of insect by-products for sustainable food packagings.

Please don't hesitate to get in contact with us.

VillaInsect SL (Protiberia) is a Spanish biotech SME pioneering the research and industrial development of the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.). Our mission is to unlock the full potential of this insect by producing high-quality protein meals, lipids, and functional ingredients, as well as valuable by-products such as frass, chitin, and chitosan — all aimed at creating sustainable solutions for the feed and food industries (aquaculture, poultry, swine, pets, zoos, and beyond). Our vertical insect farming system, which involves breeding and rearing of this insect, transforms biowaste from local agri-food industries into high-value raw materials, promoting resource efficiency and reducing environmental impact across the value chain.

Villa Insect is continuously seeking international collaborations to foster joint R&D and innovation activities. We are open to collaborations with multiple partners that share our vision. Our aim is to contribute as a reliable partner in multidisciplinary consortia.
