Third participant BioBizz hub Greencovery signs Letter of Intent
13/3/2019
The Wageningen startup Greencovery recently signed a Letter of Intent with which they showed serious interest in participating in the BioBizz hub that is planned at the Paques premises.
The BioBizz hub is financially supported by the European Union (European regional development fund), SNN (Northern Netherlands Provinces Alliance), the Province of Fryslân, the municipality of De Fryske Marren and Paques
Entrepreneur Carlos Cabrera, who is originally from Panama, has a master's degree in Wageningen, a PhD in Delft and is now a postdoc in Wageningen. With Greencovery, Cabrera wants to filter amino acids from waste streams. He aims to combine the Delft technique of Greencovery with a technique of the Wageningen chair group, where he is postdoc. "The advantage of this combined technique is that we can extract amino acids from complex lines in two steps, at low costs," Cabrera expects.
With the filtered amino acids, the company wants to make food supplements and chemicals.
