We are ÄIO and we do precision fermentation. Our mission is to change the way we produce, consume and perceive foods and other products. On the oil drop level. By recognising the full worth of microbial oils, we deliver tailored solutions for industries such as food, feed and cosmetics.

We plan to be the largest biotech company in the Baltics, but baby steps... We were officially founded in January 2022.

How do we plan to do it?

Simple: we use locally available by-products to "brew" fats & oils. By-products such as forestry residues and food industry side streams.

Our products are better. Rich in proteins, omega-3s, antioxidants, and pigments - all that by recycling and converting low-value biomass into high-value oil ingredients. Without any dependence on season or climate, or even without using precious arable land. Non-animal, plant-based. Sustainable alternative fats & oils. Point made.
