Millow is a Swedish food technology company founded in 2020 that develops meat alternatives using mycelium and oats.[1][2]. The company employs a dry fermentation process to produce mycelium-based products that aim to serve as alternatives to traditional meat[3][4].The technology behind these products is based on research conducted by Professor Mohammad Jafar Taherzadeh at the University of Borås, focusing on the application of mycelium in sustainable food production[5][6].

In 2023, Millow was awarded a €2.4 million grant from the European Innovation Council (EIC) Accelerator, along with up to €15 million in potential equity funding through the EIC Fund's blended finance scheme. These funds are designated for scaling up the company’s production capacity and establishing a new production facility[7][8][9][10][11]
