FEAST KITCHEN APS

Their core work

Feast Kitchen is a Copenhagen-based food-tech SME that builds consumer-facing food products and services at the intersection of plant-based nutrition and personalized health science. Their commercial foundation is a subscription model for organic, plant-based meals, but their EU research engagement positions them as a business partner in translating omics and metabolomics science into consumer-ready dietary interventions. In projects they act as the industry bridge — bringing business model expertise, consumer behavior knowledge, and route-to-market capabilities to consortia doing deep biomarker and personalized nutrition research. They are essentially the commercialization engine in science-heavy food and health projects.

What they specialise in

How they've shifted over time

Feast Kitchen entered H2020 in 2017 as a straightforward food business seeking SME instrument funding to scale their subscription meal concept — early-period keywords are absent, reflecting a commercial rather than research identity. By 2018 they had pivoted toward the science-business interface, joining a large innovation action (PREVENTOMICS) where their contribution was grounded in omics, metabolomics, and decision support systems applied to personalized nutrition. The trajectory is clear: they moved from selling plant-based meals as a product to using nutritional science as a product design input, positioning the company at the boundary of food-tech and precision health.

Feast Kitchen is moving deeper into precision nutrition — any future collaboration opportunity likely involves them as the consumer-facing or commercialization partner in projects linking biomarkers, dietary data, or metabolic profiling to food product design or behavior change apps.

How they like to work

With only two projects Feast Kitchen has acted in both roles — coordinator of a small SME-1 feasibility study and participant in a large innovation action — suggesting flexibility rather than a fixed pattern. As a participant in PREVENTOMICS they joined a consortium of at least 21 partners across 7 countries, which is a large network for a company of their size, implying they are comfortable operating inside complex multi-partner projects. Their role in those consortia is almost certainly not technical research but commercial and consumer-behavior expertise, making them a specialist contributor rather than a scientific lead.

Despite only two projects, Feast Kitchen has accumulated 21 unique consortium partners across 7 countries, driven almost entirely by their participation in the large PREVENTOMICS consortium. Their geographic reach is European, with a Danish home base but meaningful cross-border consortium experience.

What sets them apart

Feast Kitchen occupies a rare niche: a commercially operating food company that has genuinely engaged with omics science as a tool for product development, not just as a marketing label. Unlike university spin-offs or research institutes, they bring a live consumer business and a subscription distribution channel to any consortium — meaning scientific outputs can be tested against real customers. For consortium builders in personalized nutrition or food-health projects, they offer market validation capability that most research partners cannot provide.

Highlights from their portfolio

• PREVENTOMICS
  A €471K participation in a major innovation action combining metabolomics and biomarker science to prevent diet-related disease — by far their largest project and the one that defines their scientific credibility in personalized nutrition.
• SIMPLE FEAST
  Their only coordinator role, and the project that reveals their commercial DNA: an SME-1 grant to validate the business model behind their organic plant-based subscription meal service.
