Newsletter 2024 Issue 1 We’re Now in Switzerland! We’re thrilled to announce that VIFFFF has officially expanded into Switzerland! This marks a major milestone for us, and we’re excited to share all the incredible progress we’ve made since March 2024. Here’s what we’ve been up to: ________________________________________ Support from the State of Bern We’re incredibly grateful for the ongoing support from the State of Bern, which has been backing our efforts since last year. Their collaboration underscores the potential of Viffffs and plays a crucial role in helping us grow and innovate within the food tech space. We’re proud to have their support as we continue our journey and expand our presence in Switzerland. ________________________________________ Expanding Production in Thun With our move to Switzerland, our production capabilities in Thun are rapidly expanding! After a successful test run earlier this year, our local production partner has committed to helping us scale up Viffffs. While we work towards full automation, they’ve offered to produce Viffffs in limited quantities using their facilities over the next few months. This ensures that we can continue to meet demand and keep our momentum going. ________________________________________ Viffffs Are a Hit! Our Swiss debut has been met with great enthusiasm! At the startup fair at the University of St. Gallen in March, our Viffffs received fantastic feedback, particularly from younger customers. It’s clear that there’s a strong appetite for what we’re creating, and we’re thrilled by the positive response. ________________________________________ Recognition from Swiss Food Experts In May, we had the honor of presenting our Viffffs to the Swiss Food Research agency. We’re proud to announce that our product received top ratings from these industry experts. This recognition is a powerful endorsement of the quality and potential of Viffffs and inspires us to continue innovating. ________________________________________ Collaboration Opportunity with Givaudan We’re excited to share that our Swiss expansion has caught the attention of Givaudan, a global leader in fragrances and flavors. In April, we were invited to their headquarters, where their team was impressed with the flavor and texture of our products. They’ve expressed interest in collaborating with us to incorporate their flavors into Viffffs. ________________________________________ Partnering with the University of Applied Sciences Bern Our presence in Switzerland has also opened doors for exciting partnerships. We’ve teamed up with the University of Applied Sciences Bern to drive innovation and sustainability in our production processes. Together, we’re working on developing a cutting-edge IoT system for food production, supported by a CHF 500,000 research grant. This collaboration not only helps us advance our technology but also strengthens our commitment to sourcing high-quality ingredients directly from local Swiss farmers. ________________________________________ Thank you for being a part of this exciting journey with us. We’re thrilled to be in Switzerland and can’t wait to share more updates as we continue to grow and innovate. Stay tuned for more news in the coming months!
