Perfat Technologies, a Finnish food deep-tech company, has raised €2.5 million in Series A funding to develop healthy and functional fat alternatives. The funding, led by Newtree Impact and Beyond Impact, will be used to scale production, expand the team, and launch innovative lipid-based solutions. The company aims to replace harmful saturated and tropical fats without compromising taste or texture, offering a healthier option for consumers.

Using a proprietary oleogel technology, Perfat Technologies creates solid fats from liquid vegetable oils, providing an alternative to traditional fats like butter and palm oil. This innovation helps food manufacturers develop healthier formulations while maintaining functionality and flavor. The funding marks a significant milestone for the company, which seeks to transform the food industry, create a healthier future for consumers, and address sustainability issues associated with fats like palm oil.
