Did you know that 24% of total meat production is wasted? On top of that, the meat industry accounts for 14.5% of all CO2 emissions.
At Völur, we are on a mission to change this. By combining industrial knowledge with disruptive AI technology, we create a greener future for the meat industry.
Our vision is a world with optimal use of all resources in the meat industry, thereby creating a more sustainable industry.
Our mission is to be the world's best data and AI company for the meat industry, leading to optimal use of all animals.
At Völur, we are revolutionizing the meat industry with data and AI, making it more optimized and sustainable.
We are a bunch of meat scientists, who care deeply about the industry and want to see it develop and evolve, and young tech enthusiasts who want to build great products and make the meat industry more sustainable.

By combining deep technical and industry knowledge, we use data and AI to empower meat processors to make optimal decisions, to improve the utilization of animals throughout the whole value chain, making the industry more optimized and sustainable.
With our solution, meat processors can use about 10% less animals to satisfy the exact same market demand. This can lead to a big drop in carbon emissions, similar to what all the commercial planes in the world emit in a year.
The meat industry has a very complex value chain: the right and optimal utilization of animals is a complex problem. Today the industry solves this with excel sheets leading to unbalanced supply, overproduction and a push driven industry with low margins and waste in the value chain.
We help meat producers make sense of their data so that it becomes meaningful and actionable.
Our solution takes existing data from the industry, contextualize it, and puts it into our AI model. In the end, the meat processor gets a ready-to-use optimal production plan: both for daily production planning and long-term planning.

our story
After acquiring strong industry knowledge and expertise within the meat & poultry industry, Robert Ekrem started discussing optimization opportunities with Adrian Diaz and David Moriano. To these discussions, Adrian and David brought their experience from developing disruptive technology and applying it to large industries.
By combining deep industry knowledge with disruptive technology, the meat industry got identified as a ripe candidate for true data-driven solutions. Völur was therefore born to make it possible to enable a more optimized and sustainable meat industry.
