• Establishment of a strategic board comprising several actors from industry, financial engineering, research and development, and automotive equipment.
• Start of R&D work on Molecules & Biomaterials.
• Creation of a catalog of formulations from coffee grounds for industrial use.
• Beginning of scale-up.
• First collaborations with companies and industries in Beta-Test.
• In March 2022, Vera Chamarande, Yuchen Huang, and Florent Allais decided to combine their skills by creating the start-up V.E.R.A, an acronym for Valorization – Environment – Research – Application.
• A 4th partner, Ranko Glavas, specialized in industrial engineering, will join the V.BIOTECH team as CIO in 2024.
Based on a study conducted by Vera Chamarande, a consortium was formed comprising several universities: URCA, AgroParisTech, CentraleSupélec, primarily. The project will study for two years all possible and imaginable pathways of valorization from the by-products of the coffee sector.
In-depth study of coffee varieties during travels in producing countries. The botanical study begins, focusing on soils, species, varieties, environmental impacts, and health risks associated with the use of chemicals in coffee cultivation. Result: a document that reaches over 3000 pages and continues to be enriched today through the valorization pathways of this sector.
Vera Chamarande will open the first coffee shop “OMA Coffee” in Reims, quickly adopted by Sciences Po students. The place will become a reference for the taste and organoleptic qualities of the coffees offered.
We extract molecules with high added value, with a multifunctional purpose, with a view to formulating active ingredients intended for the cosmetics, nutraceutical, agri-food and pharmaceutical sectors.
We aspire to become the European leader in the cascade valorization of co-products from the coffee sector. By extending the life cycle of coffee grounds, we exploit all of their resources to offer them a multitude of ways to recover them.

Human value is our firm belief. Our story is woven by a devoted passion for the coffee industry, where people remain at the heart of everything. The meeting, the exchange with experts, the collaboration with scientific and industrial partners were the foundations of our project.
The expertise of our partners forms the heart of the evolution of our startup. Each of them brings unique know-how, giving our team a wealth of diverse and complementary skills: expertise in the coffee sector, in-depth knowledge of green chemistry and knowledge in industrial engineering.
Our will guides our relationships with our partners and collaborators. We are committed to honoring our promises and ensuring total traceability of our products.
Every initiative we undertake is designed to have a positive and lasting impact on our planet. Our goal: to forge a better future, a precious legacy that we will leave to future generations.
