CEO welcome

TFTAK is a privately-owned contract research organization focusing on developing innovative solutions for the food and biotechnology industry.

 

Our mission is to accelerate alternative protein research and support our partners in launching new products and services based on the novel approach of food synthetic biology.

​

TFTAK has state-of-the-art laboratory and highly qualified personnel. The center deals with R&D projects of biotechnology as well as food technology. These are very closely related in TFTAK via the use of ‘omics’ methods and in-depth knowledge and understanding of molecules and their behavior. We use modern analytical methods and our pilot plant to find the best possible results.
