Unleashing the Fungi Revolution: Susanne on the Life Science Talent Talks Podcast
Fungi is no longer just a niche topic for scientists and nature lovers—it’s quickly becoming a cornerstone of the next wave of sustainable innovation. In a new episode of the Life Science Talent Talks podcast, our founder Susanne Gløersen shares her bold vision for accelerating this fungi revolution.
As the founder of both the Future is Fungi Award and the Fungi Investment Collective, Susanne is leading a mission to support fungi-based solutions that address some of the planet’s most pressing challenges. From new food systems to next-generation materials, fungi is emerging as the backbone of a fast-growing bioeconomy.
Susanne reflects on how her personal passion evolved into a global movement—through awards, investment programs, and a rapidly growing network of scientists, entrepreneurs, and industry collaborators. She also highlights past podcast guests like Line Kloster Pedersen of Visibuilt, which are pushing boundaries in sustainable innovations fuelled by fungi.
You’ll also get a look behind the scenes of the Fungi Investment Collective, including how it evaluates ventures, supports emerging science, and connects funding with purpose.
