Extended lead times, regulatory risk and impacts from geopolitical shifts.

When the rubber hits the road
One of our favourite things at Sun Bear Biofuture is product development and testing. We’re a biotechnology company, which means a lot of time spent working at scales you cannot see with the naked eye and waiting for data back to validate the success or failure of our R&D.
So it’s such a joy when we can see the product we’re making in different use cases, such as our fantastic new lip balm.

Investing in the future at Oxford Brookes
We’ve been based at Oxford Brookes University’s campus since day one. They’ve been wonderful hosts and we have worked with so many different departments, from Life Sciences, to Nutrition and Health, and to the Business School. It is always a pleasure to support the courses where we can - this week we’re out giving presentations to the life sciences students and the nutrition students. It pays to invest in our future.

Future Food Tech London
It was such a pleasure to catch up with old and new friends at Future Food Tech London. Our CEO, Ben Wilding, discussed alternative raw ingredients and their importance to stabilising future supply chains. Whilst this was going on our CTO, Ben Williams, had the pleasure of pitching at NutrEvent Lille too - it was a busy week.
Our Sustainability Mission
Palm oil was the original inspiration for Sun Bear Biofuture. It is responsible for over 500 million tonnes of carbon annually and is the third most impactful food humans produce, after meat and dairy. It is a great ingredient and has unique properties that have helped its popularity explode. Now we need a commercially viable alternative to enable the growth coming from our population expansion to 10 billion by 2050.
