</aside>
- All G, an Australian precision fermentation startup, raised $6.6M notably from Döhler and forms a joint venture with Armor Protéines (owned by Savencia) to scale production of bovine and human lactoferrin.
- It claims to have solved key bottlenecks of traditional lactoferrin production (with high purity and glycosylation).
- It plans a market launch in 2026, and the JV will help the startup to scale its production and commercial efforts.
Comment: this is the first partnership announced by Savencia in this precision fermentation (entering it through lactoferrin, a market where they are a key player).
