Food Technology Scouting

Our client, a global ingredient company, is looking to identify the next generation of technologies and ingredients that will define the future of the food and beverage industry.

Food and beverage manufacture is the most water intensive industry on earth.  However, consumers now recognise their stewardship of the planets diminishing natural resources and sustainability is becoming a greater need.  To achieve greater resource efficiency, the way the food is made needs to be challenged and new technologies need to be adopted.  Our client is seeking new technology that will challenge the norms of food processing and manufacture and will form the basis of the food factory of the future.

Scope

The brief is broad and encompasses all technologies, processes and raw materials that have, or can potentially have, food and beverage industry applications.

Ingredients pending regulatory approval; Novel, GRAS etc will be considered, but clear guidelines on estimated approval times must be given.

Ingredients not currently in use in food and beverage applications, but with potential for new category exploitation will be considered.

Early stage technology will be considered.  The client is prepared to enter into partnership agreements with fledgling technology and solutions to bring new ingredients to market.
