Wolk is the data & AI partner in the protein transition
The protein transition is a movement in which we all start consuming less animal-based protein and replace it with plant-based alternatives for the sake of ethics, sustainability, and health.
Why the Protein Transition Matters
Our current reliance on animal protein is a heavy burden on our planet's limited resources. It demands large amounts of land, water, and feed, and is also a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, with the population growing towards an estimated 10 billion by 2050, the sustainability of our food systems is in question. Besides these issues, millions of animals suffer in this system. It feels like a no-brainer to aim for a food-system that can feed more people with healthy and tasty meals with a lower impact on the world and animals.
How Wolk can help
Connect data from the full value chain to make better products for the right customer
Take control over your data and speed up R&D
Transform your R&D process by centralizing experimental data, automating analyses, and uncovering insights across trials. Our platform helps alternative protein companies reduce development cycles and accelerate time-to-market for new products.
Scale manufacturing of Alternative Proteins
We are in the middle of a new challenging phase of Alt Protein manufacturing: scaling up their production. From experience, we know that this is a critical moment where the right data strategy and infrastructure can make the difference between smooth growth and costly chaos.
Optimize Quality & Compliance
Ensure consistent product quality and regulatory compliance by automating data collection, standardizing documentation, and creating real-time monitoring systems. Turn quality control from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.
Our Method
You think that data & AI can add value to your business, but you don't want to commit to a large investment without knowing the actual potential.
That is why we always begin with a Design Sprint to by deeply understand your unique needs and context. We clarify the scope and value of the problem. Our expert team maps out all available data resources and carefully verifies that your challenges can be effectively solved through data-driven solutions. Through in-depth interviews with users and key stakeholders, we gather crucial insights that shape our approach. Finally, we craft a thoughtfully designed architecture that sets the foundation for your project's success.
