Founded in 2024 by Dayog KABORE, AFOODS® Group is a pioneering food startup transforming our approach to food. With the tagline “A tasting journey to the origin,” AFOODS® merges African expertise with modern techniques to craft innovative, healthy products like PICE PELUS® and AKAJU®. By upcycling cacao, coffee fruit, and cashew apple, AFOODS® offers a unique culinary experience, reconnecting consumers with the roots of these foods. The founder says, “We want to take our consumers on a taste journey back to where it all begins.” Tackling Food Waste Through Innovation under African Food AFOODS® was born from the founders’ desire to address the “ugly realities” associated with popular commodities like cocoa, coffee, and cashews. These ingredients, while widely loved, are often underutilized in modern manufacturing. As African migrants with extensive European experience, the founders leveraged their expertise to create sustainable food innovations. They explain, “These commodities have untapped potential. We saw an opportunity to change that by combining African know-how with modern processing techniques.” Unique Value Proposition and Market Positioning AFOODS® stands out in the competitive food industry by upcycling food waste into high-value products. With minimal B2C competition, their authenticity and competitive pricing position them to capture significant market share. In the B2B sector, the founders believe that they can outshine market leaders and secure a strong foothold with the right funding, stating, “Our authenticity and lower prices will drive our success.” Growth and Expansion AFOODS® is strategically expanding its presence in both Africa and Europe. Based in the Ivory Coast, the company is setting up a sales and marketing team in France to penetrate the European market. “We are looking to expand in France and are keen to meet potential B2B customers, retailers, and investors who can help us grow our market share,” the team shared. This dual-market approach is essential for AFOODS® as they introduce their innovative products to a broader audience. AFOODS® – African Food at SIAL Startup Village and Beyond They view SIAL Startup Village as a critical platform for growth. “We aim to connect with B2B customers and investors who align with our vision while raising brand awareness and establishing key partnerships,” the founders said.

AFOODS® is committed to making a mark in the global market, reconnecting consumers with the roots of African cuisine.
Goxoa Sports Beer emerged from the founder’s personal experience of trying to enjoy a beer while maintaining athletic performance. “In France, alcohol-free beers didn’t offer the experience I was looking for as an athlete,” says the founder Jonathan Dubois. This challenge inspired Goxoa, a brand focused on delivering delicious, functional alcohol-free (AF) beers for athletes. “Goxoa means ‘delicious’ in Basque, and that’s exactly what we want to deliver,” he adds. As the first brand dedicated to athletes, Goxoa aims to redefine the AF beer market in France. A Game-Changer for Active Lifestyles The idea behind Goxoa Sports Beer was born out of necessity. “I struggled to balance my love for beer with my athletic lifestyle,” explains Jonathan. Athletes in France often avoided alcohol-free beers due to poor taste and a lack of relevance to their needs. Goxoa addresses these issues by creating functional beers that taste great and support recovery and performance. “We decided to create beers that offer the best taste and functional benefits for athletes,” says the founder, introducing a new niche in the French sports beverage market. Marketing and Business Expertise Combined Goxoa Sports Beer is powered by a skilled team of 10, combining marketing and business expertise. “Marcelo brings years of experience as a marketing director in the FMCG industry, a critical skill for a beverage brand,” shares the founder. With his experience in startups, finance, and business, he believes their combined strengths create a fast-paced, high-potential project. Operating from Montpellier and Madrid, Goxoa’s team is positioned to dominate the alcohol-free beer space for athletes across Europe. The Best Alcohol-Free Beer for Athletes Goxoa’s competitors may produce great-tasting AF beers, but they miss out on the functional benefits that athletes seek. “Athletic Brewing has a strong product, but it doesn’t fully serve the needs of athletes,” says the founder. Goxoa Sports Beer, on the other hand, focuses on providing athletes with both great taste and functional benefits, making it a more relevant choice. “We focus on giving athletes an enjoyable beer experience that supports their active lifestyle,” he adds. Goxoa Sports Beer’s Explosive Growth Despite being founded in 2022, Goxoa Sports Beer has experienced remarkable growth, selling over 100,000 units in just 12 months through more than 600 resellers. “There’s a real demand for functional alcohol-free beers for athletes,” the founder says. As Goxoa sets its sights on 2024, its goal is clear: “We want to flood the French sports market and become the go-to alcohol-free beer for athletes.” Expanding the Market for Alcohol-Free Beers for Athletes Looking to the future, Goxoa Sports Beer plans to dominate the French sports market in 2024 with its unique alcohol-free beer offering. “Our goal is to bring Goxoa to every athlete in France,” says the founder. Participating in SIAL Startup Village is a key part of their growth strategy, providing opportunities for strategic partnerships and investor support. “We expect to connect with key players who will help us scale and bring Goxoa to athletes across Europe,” he adds.
Reinventing the Egg: The Yumgo Journey Yumgo, a French startup founded in 2019 by Anne Vincent and Rodolphe Landemaine, is on a mission to revolutionize the way we think about eggs. With a unique name derived from “Yummy” and “Tamago” (the Japanese word for egg), Yumgo offers a complete range of plant-based egg alternatives designed for professional use in both sweet and savory recipes. As Vincent explains, “The idea for Yumgo came from a simple observation: we need to change our eating habits. Eggs, the most widely consumed animal protein in the world, are irreplaceable, so what can we do? That’s how the idea of Yumgo came.” Addressing the Problem: Sustainable Eating Eggs are a staple in many diets, yet they come with significant environmental and ethical concerns. Yumgo addresses this issue head-on by providing allergen-free, plant-based egg replacements that boast a carbon impact 70% lower than traditional eggs. “Yumgo is today the reference in professional egg replacement,” says Landemaine. The startup’s products include whole eggs, egg yolks, and egg whites in both liquid and powder formats, ensuring versatility and ease of use for culinary professionals. A Unique Solution and Value Proposition What sets Yumgo apart from its competitors is its dedication to providing a product that doesn’t compromise on taste or performance. As Landemaine puts it, “Yumgo offers culinary performance similar to that of eggs, with equivalent deliciousness.” This commitment to quality has made Yumgo a trusted name among premium restaurants and industrial food producers. Growth Strategy and Future Plans Yumgo’s growth strategy involves expanding its customer base and continuing to innovate. The team, based in Paris, is dedicated to developing new products and increasing brand awareness. “We will develop more products and enhance brand awareness compared to our competitors,” Landemaine notes. Participating in events like SIAL Startup Invest is a key part of this strategy, providing opportunities to boost the brand and generate leads. Looking Ahead: Expectations from SIAL Startup Invest By joining SIAL Startup Village, Yumgo aims to enhance its visibility and establish valuable connections. Vincent emphasizes the importance of such events, stating, “To boost our brand and to participate in these big events to get leads.” The team is looking forward to meeting potential investors, customers, and partners, all while showcasing their innovative products.
