The anchor project foodineum is a crystallization point for start-up activities and the settlement of SMEs and at the same time a partner for established companies in the food industry in NRW to the Netherlands and focuses primarily along the production chain on issues relating to plant-based foods, alternative proteins and the utilization of plant-based raw and residual materials.

The foodineum in the heart of Neuss is a cooperation project between Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences and Rhein-Kreis Neuss. Thanks to funding from the federal and state governments amounting to around seven million euros, we are building state-of-the-art infrastructure, driving forward pilot projects and offering companies access to cost-neutral research and development.
