Edonia
Edonia turns spirulina, a microalgae packed with nutritional richness, into Edo®, a tender and tasty protein grain made without added flavors or texturizers. Its patented process, Edonization®, was developed in partnership with AgroParisTech.
Edo® is designed for foodservice and food manufacturers, as an alternative to meat, cheese or fish, or to improve the nutritional value of everyday foods. Its carbon footprint is up to 27 times lower than meat.
After a first €2M round led by Asterion Ventures in 2024, Edonia built an industrial pilot, delivered its first clients, including Newrest and Aliive, and signed around twenty contracts for €30M in pre-orders. In 2026, it secured €15M in financing to open a dedicated facility in France and grow its sales in Europe, Japan and the United States.
The alternative protein sector is emerging from a decade of unmet promises: convincing prototypes in the lab, then the wall of industrial scale, where supply and cost price decide everything. Yet consumers are looking for products that are high in protein, affordable, minimally processed and tasty.
Edonization®, a patented process that turns spirulina into Edo®, a protein grain that food manufacturers and foodservice can easily work with, at a competitive price against animal proteins and with a carbon footprint up to 27 times lower than meat.
