Foodiq, a Finnish food technology company, has raised significant investment to support its expansion into Asia and North America. The funding will enable the company to advance its proprietary Multi-Layer Cooker (MLC) technology and hire additional talent to accelerate its global growth.
“We’re ready to bring our technology to the world stage”
The funding will allow Foodiq to further develop its technology and expand its presence in key global markets, capitalizing on the growing demand for sustainable and localized food production solutions.
At the heart of Foodiq’s growth strategy is the MLC technology, a food processing platform designed to streamline the production of dairy-free products. The MLC system is versatile, capable of producing a wide array of dairy and dairy-style alternatives, such as fermented yogurts, puddings, spreadable cheeses, and ready-to-serve soups and sauces. The technology’s adaptability allows it to work with a variety of raw materials, including oats, hemp, rice, and fruits.
Key benefits of the MLC technology include its potential to reduce food miles and waste by enabling localized production. The system is also scalable, capable of moving from pilot-scale production to full industrial capacity. This scalability, combined with its all-in-one processing capabilities, allows for streamlined production of dairy-free products from raw ingredients to final products in a single process.
Customization for regional diets
Foodiq positions its MLC technology as a significant innovation for the plant-based sector, particularly in meeting diverse regional dietary needs. The platform supports customized product development, including options with specific nutritional profiles, such as high protein content or low sugar levels, and offers flexibility for clean labeling.
Robert Savikko, CEO and co-founder of Foodiq, commented, “This raise is a strong vote of confidence in our vision and business model. We’re proud to remain fully focused on food tech — where innovation, sustainability, and scalability meet. With this funding, we’re ready to bring our technology to the world stage and help build a smarter, cleaner, and more local food future.”
