It’s a really great opportunity because we just changed our name a few weeks ago. We used to be called Yeasty and we’re now Onima. So it’s great visibility for us and it was a crash test for the new brand, so that’s went really well. We’ll also be gaining support from Rockstart and that is a great programme that will be looking forward. And we’ll also be coming next year to NutrEvent as part of the price.

I had the opportunity to attend and pitch at the Start-up Slams, one of the best ways to display disruptive enterprises and engage with projects like mine. It was a wonderful surprise to win the NutrEvent prize! The jury was fully aware of the need for a new generation of healthy low sugar food products.

It was a given that myNUMEA would participate in the main European event of the “health and nutrition” sector. To be awarded “the most innovative start-up” was an honour. This prize holds a very special significance for us. To be recognized and distinguished by these experts among many excellent projects is for us the best indicator that myNUMEA is on the right track to revolutionising our relationship to micronutrition.  

I participated in NutrEvent with the aim of better understanding the food market, major trends and key innovations in nutrition to develop more sustainable food systems. I appreciated the variety of meetings during the event with experts in various fields of health nutrition such as microbiota, personalised nutrition, regulatory experts and investors. This allowed me to better understand the challenges of tomorrow's nutrition, and to meet local actors in animal and human nutrition through the competitiveness clusters present at the event.
