WELS, Austria – June 8, 2026 – The [1]IFW 2026 – Insects to Feed the World
– is one of the world’s most important conferences for science and
industry in the insect sector. This year, REPLOID is participating as
Diamond Sponsor, presenting eight scientific contributions, its own side
event, and an industry booth at the conference in Turin.
For REPLOID, the IFW is the central stage for advancing the insect sector
– spanning breeding and residue utilization, frass applications and
regulatory affairs through to industrial-scale deployment. It brings
together the key players shaping the next wave of innovation, scale-up and
policy frameworks. REPLOID’s role as Diamond Sponsor and its strong
scientific presence reflect its active contribution to this debate.
Scientific Presence
REPLOID is represented in the official scientific program of IFW 2026 with
eight contributions covering the key areas of industrial insect
bioconversion:
• Efficient bioconversion and utilization of food residues and waste
• Targeted breeding of BSF larvae with improved traits
• Frass as fertilizer and bio-stimulant in field trials
• Methane reduction and further questions on climate impact
On-Site Presence and Side Event
At IFW, REPLOID will also be showcasing its technology and solutions,
including feed and fertilizer products at the largest industry booth at
the conference.
Kicking off the conference on June 8, from 10:00 to 13:00 at the NH
Lingotto Congress Hotel, REPLOID is co-organizing a side event together
with the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna (BOKU):
[2]„From Plate to Biomass – Circular Strategies for Food Waste“. The
workshop is part of the EU-funded Interreg project foodCIRCUS and targets
stakeholders seeking safe and scalable ways to utilize food waste in
restaurant and school systems. It covers various recovery routes –
including biogas, lactic acid fermentation and insect bioconversion – as
well as the European regulatory framework and practical examples from
North America and Asia. Attendance is free, both on-site and online;
[3]registration is required.
Moritz Gold, Director of R&D and IP at REPLOID: “Insects to Feed the World
is the perfect platform for us to bring our innovations to the world. With
our end-to-end approach – from residual material through to market-ready
B2C and B2B products, with the ReFarmUnit at its core – the industry is
entering its next phase. Our innovations show just how versatile of a
problem-solver insects can be.”
About REPLOID Group AG
REPLOID offers an innovative system for the industrial utilization of
regional organic residues from the food industry.
The company builds and services modular and scalable insect-rearing plants
for its customers – the REPLOID ReFarmUnits. In these plants, young Black
Soldier Fly larvae supplied by the company receive a site-specific feed
mix. This mix is developed on the basis of REPLOID’s own research and
development using residual materials from the regional food value chain.
After rearing, customers either use the larvae and/or their by-products
themselves, or REPLOID takes them back for centralized marketing or
further processing.
REPLOID sells the reared larvae either directly or, after further
processing into proteins and fats, for example, to customers in the animal
feed industry. From the by-products of insect rearing (insect frass), the
company produces premium organic fertilizer.
With decentralized upcycling on an industrial scale, REPLOID provides an
economically attractive solution within the circular economy. Food
residues and unused food are utilized efficiently, helping to conserve key
resources over the long term.
REPLOID Group AG was founded in 2020 and is headquartered in Wels,
Austria. The company has a global focus and has been listed since July
2025 on the Vienna Stock Exchange’s direct market plus segment (ticker
symbol: HRX5). The Group employs more than 135 people.
