Faire du lait sans vache : Standing Ovation lève 25 millions avec Danone pour passer à l’échelle
法国食品科技初创公司Standing Ovation近日完成2500万欧元融资，由达能旗下风险投资部门Danone Manifesto Ventures领投。该公司专注于通过精密发酵技术生产无动物成分的酪蛋白，旨在为乳制品行业提供可持续的替代方案。
此次融资将主要用于加速其工业化进程，计划在巴黎附近建设首条中试生产线，为大规模商业化做准备。公司联合创始人兼首席执行官Romain Chayre强调，这笔资金是推动技术从实验室走向市场的关键一步。
Standing Ovation的核心技术是利用微生物发酵生产酪蛋白，这是牛奶中形成奶酪质构和营养的关键蛋白质。与传统畜牧业相比，该工艺可大幅减少土地、水资源使用及温室气体排放。达能的投资不仅提供资金支持，还将带来食品规模化生产的专业经验。
目前，公司已成功在实验室环境下生产出酪蛋白，并制作出原型奶酪产品。下一步目标是与食品制造商合作，将原料整合到现有产品线中。随着欧盟近期批准精密发酵成分用于食品，监管环境也为该类创新提供了更明确的发展路径。
此次合作反映了传统食品巨头与生物技术初创公司加速融合的趋势，旨在共同应对全球食品系统的可持续性挑战。
Standing Ovation Secures €25 Million from Danone to Scale Animal-Free Dairy
French biotech startup Standing Ovation has raised €25 million in a Series A funding round led by Danone’s corporate venture arm, Danone Manifesto Ventures. The investment will accelerate the industrial-scale production of its animal-free dairy proteins, specifically caseins, using precision fermentation.
Founded in 2021, Standing Ovation has developed a proprietary process to produce caseins—the key functional proteins in cheese—by fermenting microorganisms. This technology aims to replicate traditional dairy’s taste, texture, and meltability without involving cows, targeting the growing market for sustainable and lactose-free alternatives.
The fresh capital will primarily fund the construction of a pilot production plant in the Paris region. This facility is designed to demonstrate the company’s process at a pre-industrial scale, a critical step toward future commercial manufacturing and partnerships with food brands.
Danone’s strategic involvement signals strong industry interest in precision fermentation as a route to decarbonize dairy. Standing Ovation’s CEO highlighted the partnership as validation of their technology’s potential to meet demand for sustainable ingredients without compromising on quality.
The startup, which had previously raised €12 million, is part of a competitive global sector developing animal-free dairy and egg proteins. This funding round positions it to advance from R&D to production, aiming to supply B2B ingredients for cheese and other dairy product alternatives.
