News for vegans: a delicacy named Yofix has begun to sell. However, the news is not the product's nature, but the fact that, unlike the products that can be found on the shelf, this product is not developed in one of the large food companies - but in the incubator of the food-tech.
This is a start-up that operates in The Kitchen's hub of the Strauss Group and the Innovation Authority, and received funding from Strauss Dairies and a group of private investors totaling $ 2 million in a recently completed round of funding. The round is led by Strauss Dairies, and a global venture capital fund specializing in alternative products for animal products, along with 3 foreign investors. Yofix is the first company to complete two years of development and training in the incubator, and now that it has set up a production plant in the Lower Galilee, it is launching its first product on the market.

"...Foodtech startups apply to the incubator for a period of 18 to 24 months. Startups join one-by-one and receive investment in return for a negotiable equity investment. Investments are typically around $500k but could increase if The Kitchen syndicates out a round to other investors in its network.
Because the incubator operates under the Incubators Program of the Israel Innovation Authority — the new name for the Office of the Chief Scientist, second-round applications will be reviewed by the authority before they’re confirmed.
The Kitchen currently has six companies in the incubator ...."
One of the current companies is:

Plant-based Yogurt... with a cleaner label
So which start-ups made an impression during the trip? The first to catch our eye was Yofix , which is carving out novel territory in the burgeoning plant-based desserts category via a yogurt with a creamy texture without the usual mix of gums, stabilizers and flavors, making for a cleaner label.
Yofix - which secured seed funding from TheKitchen Food Tech Hub - blends oats, lentils, sunflower seeds, probiotics, coconut and sesame seeds to make a yogurt with no added sugar, and is also working on dairy-free ice cream and other products.

Following a rigorous difficult competition with several other competent competitors, he managed to enter Israel's first food tech incubator sponsored by the Chief Scientist and the Ministry of Economics. As part of the incubator, which is located in Ashdod, the Chief Scientist and Strauss will invest NIS 80 million (85%, 15% accordingly), in food technology companies.
