Planet A Foods is a German food-tech pioneer focused on redefining food ingredients to provide sustainable solutions to some of the most pressing challenges in the global food industry. By leveraging advanced technology and science, the company addresses critical environmental and ethical issues such as resource dependency, deforestation, and supply chain volatility, reshaping how food is produced and consumed globally.

Founded by the innovative sibling team, Dr. Maximilian Marquart and Dr. Sara Marquart, Planet A Foods aims to revolutionise the chocolate industry with their flagship product ChoViva, a groundbreaking cocoa-free alternative made from sunflower seeds.
