Established in 2021, Dynamic Foodco leverages Dr. Andy Kusumo’s experience as the first scientist and R&D Head in Asia for Quorn, a pioneer in the alternative protein space; his prior stint at biopharma Merck and Amgen; and his chemical engineering degrees from Cornell University and Carnegie Mellon University, to push the boundaries of plant-based meat alternatives. The Dynamic Foodco team is backed by an advisory board comprised of food industry veterans to help scale the business. Dynamic Foodco’s TnT technology (Taste and Texture) transforms ordinary plant ingredients into sustainable food solution for the masses. The company’s technology philosophy is not ingredient-centric but consumer-centric — so the ingredients used in the plant-based products are not static. Dynamic Foodco plans develop its technology platform so that it can collaborate with other Singapore-based science and tech companies that focuses on agriculture and fermentation. The goal is to accelerate the availability of tasty, affordable plant-based products in the market and create an integrated plant-based infrastructure in Singapore. Dynamic Foodco plans to scale beyond Singapore into other parts of Asia in the near future. www.thedynameat.com Instagram.com/TheDynaMeat Show less
