Introducing... Spira Red, also known as Gracilaria (grass-il-AIR-ree-uh). This natural RED pigment from algae extract contains various bioactive compounds with potential health benefits, and is a replacement for artificial Red 40. WHY Spira Red? Seaweeds are a rich source of phytochemicals having antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, with a presence of fibers and minerals improving the mineral content. This particular seaweed is commonly cultivated for food as well as for the agar and carrageenan industries, and of course serves as a natural red pigment. BENEFITS, you ask? Spira Red serves as a functional ingredient and pigment that opens up new prospects for food processing, including alternative meat product formulations. Spira Red contains high proportions of polysaccharides along with various other potentially beneficial compounds such as quality protein and essential fatty acids, particularly long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs).

    The summer months give us time to pause – just a bit – to reflect on our successes and to use our renewed energy to accomplish our goals for the remainder of the year. So, with that in mind, we’re doing a mini-roundup of the first half of 2023, celebrating – again – XTC startup competition winners. 🏆 This also serves as motivation for other #impactstartups to apply for XTC startup competitions. Take a leap and follow in the footsteps of winners who have gone before you! Now is a good time. Deep breath … January 2023: CES, Las Vegas, Nevada CES is the most influential tech event in the world, and it takes place each year in Las Vegas. An eye-popping 32 #entrepreneurs had open access to corporate executives, #vcs and thousands upon thousands of attendees.

Congratulations to Circular Economy Category Winner, Circ® June 2023: Deep Tech Connect: A Deep Tech Innovation Forum, Eindhoven, Netherlands The inaugural Deep Tech Connect was a bit different than our other events. It wasn’t a startup competition as much as it was a day to think deeply about the world #deeptech and the startups which are leveraging advanced technologies to solve societal challenges. There were #keynote addresses, inspiring panel discussions, #investor roundtables and, of course, #pitches from deep-tech ventures and alumni from HighTechXL, LUMO Labs and XTC. The energy at this event was through the roof, and we're already planning on next year's event.
