The world came to visit ÄIO

On September 17, ÄIO welcomed 40 diplomats representing their countries (in Estonia) from all over the world to our lab and kitchen facilities.

During the visit, ÄIO’s Global Business Developer, Kristi Lember gave a good overview of what is the idea behind ÄIO, what problem are we solving and why are we doing it. Many interesting questions were asked and in the words of Kristi – it was great to feel real interest from visitors about the next steps of ÄIO, about the products, about the by-products we use as substrate and what are the next plans.

The visit did not take place only in the seminar room! We also gave a tour of our bran new pilot lab facilities. Although an important experience was taking place in our bioreactor room and for safety & hygiene reasons it was not possible to step into that room, we could still have small peak over the door to confirm that the pilot lab is up and running, and that something important is going on there!

In the kitchen facilities, ÄIO’s Head of Cosmetics, Magdalena Koziol introduced the magic world of ÄIO’s cosmetics products that include our RedOli as one of the world-changing ingredients. Everyone who wanted could try the creams and lotions on their skin. Questions about ingredients, effect on dry skin and nice smell got replies by our expert.

This was not it. ÄIO had prepared some delicious snacks that contained biomass, and this was a good surprise to all the visitors – to get to taste something! Biomass is nutritious and can be used in different foods. We are working hard on getting novel food permit and at the same time we devote time on developing new products!

Thank you so much for your visit and until next hellos all over the world!
