Speaker

About the speaker: 

Remko Hol is co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) & Manager R&D of Olijck Foods, an innovative company focused on the protein transition by developing hybrid meat products. These products combine traditional meat with plant-based ingredients, such as seaweed and vegetables, to optimize both taste and environmental impact.

In 2016, Remko founded Olijck. The company started producing artisanal charcuterie, including dried sausages that were given unique flavors in collaboration with local breweries. Later, Olijck expanded to hybrid meat products under the label ‘Meat-You-Halfway’. These products consist of 50% to 70% meat and are supplemented with ingredients such as seaweed and land vegetables, which contributes to both taste and sustainability.

Remko’s passion for taste and sustainability is clearly reflected in Olijck’s mission to guide consumers in the transition to a more plant-based diet, without compromising on taste or quality.

Quote: "We are close to a breakthrough of seaweed food solutions into mainstream food markets."

Company info:

Everything starts with taste. There is no arguing about taste, but at Olijck they do. They have the ambition to convince us with taste and wonder to take steps in the protein transition. So from animal to more plant-based food with all the benefits for their climate.
