Hydrosome Labs, a Chicago-based start-up, has won the first heat of the Global Food Tech Awards 2025, using a natural, chemical-free microbubble process to enhance fermentation performance. The company’s technology uses ultrafine bubbles and nanobubbles to improve precision fermentation capacity and accelerate cell growth. The Global Food Tech Awards aims to recognize innovative food technology and drive innovation in the industry. The competition attracted a strong field of entries, which were evaluated by a panel of five expert judges. Hydrosome Labs’ win was praised for its simplicity, scalability, and potential applications. Two runners-up, Careit and Marine Biologics, were also recognized for their innovative approaches to reducing food waste and transforming seaweed into a programmable biomass. The awards will continue with the EMEA and APAC heats, with the overall winner to be announced in December.
