Alexandre de Caters and Gaetan Crielaard, business students in Belgium, were set to graduate in 2012.
During a Montreal exchange program, they bonded and shared a desire to address the global protein shortage. Their research on feeding a growing population led them to explore insects as a protein source.

Our core values
Data-Driven
Discussion and exchanges at Entobel and with its stakeholders are compelled by data. The data-driven message is then conveyed simply and directly yet effectively to align as fast as possible with all relevant parties.
Empathy & Team Spirit
Entobel believes in open and honest communication. Listening with empathy builds trust, respect, and loyalty. We treat others the way we would like to be treated. Entobel thrives to create an environment where team members have a strong desire to work together towards achieving Entobel’s mission and support each other in achieving their respective goals.
Straightforward
Straightforward is the preferred way to express ourselves at Entobel. A message should be straight to the point and everyone should share their opinions in a direct way. It means that we should be simple in our behavior toward others and in our ways of delivering any message.
Innovation
Entobel encourages every single of its members and its stakeholders to choose to do or suggest new things that create value without being constrained by what has been done in the past, or what others are doing today. Innovation can and should happen at every single level of the organization and the status quo should always be challenged.
We extend beyond ensuring a fair workplace.
Our focus is on cultivating an environment of transparent communication and empowerment, recognizing our people as our most valuable resource. Our commitment lies in creating a workplace where each individual feels appreciated, empowered, and listened to.
