Gelatex is a Techstars-backed materials technology company that invented the fastest technology for producing bio-based nanofibers on a large scale. It is a platform technology that enables faster and up to 100 cheaper nanofiber production for applications like 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering, cultured meat, bio-based filters, eco-friendly
leather-like textile, energy storage, wound care, and many more. The technology is patent-pending and the machinery fully functional.
The company was founded in 2016 and until COVID-19 pandemic developed eco-friendly leather-like textile from gelatin nanofibers, using this nanofiber production technology as part of the process. COVID-19 was a trigger to understand the wider potential of the technology which then led to pivot.
The company is based in Estonia and holding incorporated in UK (2019).
