We are thrilled to announce that Lipid Legends has emerged as winner of the highly competitive REGAL Start-up Pitch 2024 at this year's industry meeting of the food trade. Lipid Legends is an innovative spin-off from the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Vienna, co-founded by Marc Pignitter from the Department of Physiological Chemistry.

The jury and audience was captured by their groundbreaking method for producing cold-pressed flaxseed oil with significantly enhanced storage stability, achieved without the use of external antioxidants or stabilizers.

Winning this competition secures Lipid Legends media credits worth €30,000 from REGAL and SevenVentures (the investment arm of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group), providing a significant boost to their business. This recognition once more shows the immense technological and economic potential of their innovation. The method not only enhances product quality and shelf life but also supports sustainability by utilizing bioactive compounds from the by-products of oil production.

Congratulations to the team of Lipid Legends for their outstanding achievement!
