BOTALYS is a Belgian botanical-ingredients company that grows rare medicinal plants, starting with Korean ginseng, inside one of Europe's largest indoor vertical farms. Using a proprietary Biomimetic Indoor Farming method, it recreates the harsh wild conditions that make plants build up active compounds, harvesting ginseng in months rather than years and producing roots with unusually high concentrations of ginsenosides. Its ultra-pure, standardized extracts - led by the HRG80 ginseng ingredient - supply nutraceutical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical companies looking for traceable, contaminant-free botanicals.
Owl's Brew is a women-led, Connecticut-based beverage company that builds ready-to-drink alcoholic cocktails from real teas, botanicals and fruit juice instead of artificial flavors. Founded in 2013 by tea sommelier Jennie Ripps and Maria Littlefield, it started as a tea-based cocktail mixer, pioneered one of the first hard tea seltzers in 2020, and in 2026 pivoted its flagship line to Spiked Pop, a 'clean' hard soda. The brand's promise is simple: drink wise, with ingredients you can actually pronounce.
