About my Start-up
Physis Ingredients is a manufacturer of plant extracts based in Serres, Greece. Physis started its operation in 2017, aiming to invest in the Greek “Physis” (meaning “nature” in Greek) and produce the best out of it. As such, the company invested in cultivations of aromatic & pharmaceutical plants (famous for their exceptional properties) in order to ensure quality in all processing steps. Simultaneously, it also invested in research for the development of innovative ingredients.
Why your idea is a “winner"?:
Our technology includes an innovative formula that boosts the production and offers better efficiency & results in comparison to the competition. Also, the fact that our products are vertically produced - from farm to package - gives us the benefit of ensuring the quality in all steps of production. Moreover, our know-how is supported and developed by a strong RnD team, which allows us to be ahead in the innovation run.
What is your current or intended business/revenue model?:
During the first years of our operation and the business development phase, our business model was based in own capital and national grants. We are about to implement a new investment plan for production capacity scale-up and a number or research projects (co-funded for further development). We have achieved the first sales of our products and foresee that in a reasonable time, we will get enough revenue from sales. As a secondary activity, we will provide extraction services for third parties; at least three companies have already expressed their interest.
Do you have any Patent or IP registered (related to the solution that you are looking for an investment)?:
We have plans to apply for patent during 2024.
Has your technology already been implemented in any field/sector?:
Our technology of production is used in the ingredients industry.
Which market and customer need(s)/problem(s) is (are) your products(s)/service(s) going to solve?:
Our target market is food, feed, supplements & cosmetics industries. Our products are natural ingredients and, as we state in our vision, help the industry transition towards "clean label" products. "Clean label" is a major trend in the late years, indicative of the constantly increasing demand on behalf of the consumers for cleaner, greener, and easy-to-understand ingredients, few as possible and with no chemical additives. Our products can be used for self-life extention of the final products, natural colouring, adding properties to functional foods, or even stand alone in supplement formulas.
