Swissinsect GmbH is a Swiss company producing protein-rich insects to support a more locally resilient food supply. Founded in 2022 and based in Hergiswil, in the canton of Nidwalden, the company develops insect protein for use in the food industry and highlights it as an alternative to conventional meat.
