MYCELIUM consortium obtains funding - October 2025

The MYCELIUM consortium obtained final approval for EU subsidy from Kansen voor West. Six parties cooperate in this project, which all work with mycelium to obtain sustainable products for a circular economy. A key point is the energy efficient sterilization: the goal is to obtain 70% less energy consumption compared to traditional autoclaving.
