As Europe’s first digital native vertical brand for child food, YAMO is about to change a whole category for good.

The Zug-based startup, YAMO, provides nutritious and delicious products to help children grow up healthy and strong. Their products are made of 100% organic and natural ingredients and are free from sugar and any additives. They also contain vitamins and nutrients that support the age-appropriate development of children.

YAMO also ensures that they lessen their ecological footprint, as they work as resource-efficiently as possible. Their high-pressure technology allows fruits and vegetables in their products to remain tasty and safe for up to 2-3 months or longer. With this same technology, they achieve energy savings of approximately 20% compared to energy-intensive heat treatment. Lastly, they use recyclable PET packaging, which causes lower CO2 emissions.

YAMO’s Beginnings

Tobias Gunzenhauser co-founded YAMO with Luca Michas and José Amado-Blanco in 2016. They created the brand to give parents healthier and easy food choices for their children. Additionally, the idea started with the realization that most baby foods are older than the babies who eat them. YAMO is recognized as the first company in Europe to develop vitamin-preserving, cold-pressed baby food. And they are also the first to launch plant-based children’s yoghurts.

YAMO is available in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. Since May 2018, it has been sold in dm, Europe’s largest drug store chain. And as of August 2018, YAMO is also in Coop, one of Switzerland’s largest retailers.

The Canton of Vaud serves the food of tomorrow through personalised nutrition, functional food and robotised agriculture.

The canton of Vaud has a strong agricultural tradition and this developed the agri-food sector with the creation of Nestlé in Vevey in 1905. The region also benefits from a strong industrial tradition, complemented by a strong spirit of innovation. It enables companies to design and produce new solutions to meet today’s needs and anticipate the future’s challenges.

The Food Innovation Scene in the State of Vaud

Products from the Vaud food industry are exported worldwide. But apart from the large-scale trade in foodstuff, the canton of Vaud has important players in the research and development of new products. Academic institutes, including the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), are working on a future-oriented challenge: agritech. Startups are investing in this emerging sector by developing drones to control crops, weeding robots, “intelligent” greenhouses and remote sensing systems. The EPFL also opened its Integrative Food and Nutrition Center to focus on issues related to nutrition and food production. Meanwhile, the EHL Hospitality Management School is also active in research, innovation and entrepreneurship with its Innovation Village and the Metro Hospitality Lab.
