UK Centre for Insect Technology

Transforming biological processes into industrial reality.

DISCOVER MORE

Located in the heart of London, Entocycle’s UK Centre for Insect Technology houses Entocycle’s patented breeding and rearing technology in an end-to-end production environment. It’s the industrial proving ground that de-risks the deployment of insect facilities at-scale.

Built in 2023, CfIT is the result of 10 years of rigerous research and development and the third generation of Entocycle’s technology, the same technology solutions we deploy at industrial scale.

Our Technology

Precision Agri-Tech

Real-time, AI-driven insect monitoring systems count and track insects over their lifecycle. It’s the data-driven predictability that powers our facilities.
Controlled Environment

Fully climate-controlled, modular facilities standardise production conditions allowing high-yield production to be deployed anywhere in the world.
Fully Automated Facilities

Efficient and scalable, automation means lower operational costs of facilities, driving higher business-model profitability.

The Entocycle Advantage

10 Years of R&D

A decade of rigorous development and testing for every component of our system. This isn’t theoretical R&D; it’s real-life biological and performance data that gives us the credibility required to be a build-partner for Infrastructure Capital.
Proven Production Data

Battle-tested at our London Centre for Insect Technology. By running our industrial-scale equipment in real-world production conditions for the last two years, we’ve already mitigated the ramp-up friction that causes other projects to fail.
World Class Expertise

A world-class collection of engineers, entomologists and infrastructure experts. Our fluency in biology, engineering and finance is a necessity for translating biological complexity into bankable industrial assets.

“CfIT is the culmination of 10 years of research and development on Black Soldier Fly. As entomologists, it’s our role to understand their biology, their behaviour. We then work closely with the engineering team to use technology to remove the variance you’d find in nature, which means you can do this at unprecedented scale.”
