Maija Itkonen

Maija Itkonen is a designer, innovator, serial entrepreneur and one of the movers and shakers at the alternative protein field.

Currently she’s acting as CEO and Co-founder of Onego Bio, a company producing animal-free egg white with cellular agriculture means.

Her previous company Gold&Green is focused on plant proteins, specifically oat based meat alternatives.

Maija is a musician as her second profession, and if not found at the innovation lab or by the saxophone, she’s probably taking care of cucumbers with her kids.
