ÄIO

Par uzņēmumu

ÄIO is an Estonian deep-tech company that uses precision fermentation to create sustainable fats and oils from industrial side-streams. Their specialized niche involves upcycling wood and food industry by-products (like sawdust or agricultural waste) into "RedOil"—a nutrient-rich microbial oil. This serves as a direct, environmentally friendly replacement for palm oil, coconut oil, and animal fats in the food, cosmetic, and chemical industries. Unlike many bio-oil companies that focus on algae, ÄIO uses unique proprietary yeast strains to "brew" fats in a process similar to beer making. By decoupling oil production from traditional agriculture, they are addressing one of the biggest drivers of deforestation globally.
