The Protein Community (TPC) is a platform with more than 140 partners set up in 2017 by Foodvalley NL, the provinces of Gelderland and Overijssel and Oost NL. TPC stems from the ‘Groene Eiwitversneller’, a pilot of 30 SMEs to test whether plant protein innovations could be accelerated to the market. The pilot was successful because there was a great balance of infrastructure, creativity and a diversity of stakeholders: from retailers to investors. The success was reason to scale up and internationalize, The Protein Community was born.
