The Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO) has partnered with The EVERY Company and Vivici to establish a protein fermentation facility in Abu Dhabi. The industrial-scale site will meet food safety and Halal certification standards and will be open for other fermented protein companies to participate. This partnership aims to create a regulatory framework for fermented proteins in the UAE, explore export opportunities, and build a skilled workforce in biotechnology and food science.

The collaboration marks a milestone for Abu Dhabi’s AgriFood Growth and Water Abundance (AGWA) cluster, focusing on food security and water scarcity solutions. Vivici and The EVERY Company, with their expertise in precision fermentation, are leading the way in sustainable protein production. The establishment of this facility is a step towards bolstering regional food resilience and expanding Abu Dhabi's presence in global protein supply chains, demonstrating a commitment to technologies that bring long-term economic value.
