 | Seeking a next generation material for safe Microwave, Oven and Air Fryer cooking from frozen |
|
As a global market leader in the frozen food sector, Nomad Foods is seeking advanced material solutions capable of maintaining structural and chemical integrity across an extreme thermal lifecycle: from deep-freeze storage at -18°C to active cooking in microwaves, air fryers, and conventional ovens (up to 220°C). The material must not adversely affect the product in any way: Proposals must demonstrate that the material has zero organoleptic impact, ensuring no migration of taste, odor, or aroma to the food product throughout its lifecycle. To ensure the long-term sustainability of our packaging portfolio, the material must achieve a RecyClass Recyclability Assessment Method (RAM) rating of Grade A or B. This may be accomplished through the use of an appropriate barrier coating or by utilising an existing recyclable substrate. The packaging format remains open, though our preference is to identify solutions that could replace our current flexible plastic cook‑in pouches or trays. The technology we are seeking should be at the functional prototype stage. The proposed packaging format must enable a high-performance "cook-in-pack" solution for our consumers. This technology will facilitate steam-cooking directly within the bag, pouch, or enclosed material, preserving the nutritional integrity of the food. The material must offer high transparency, allowing consumers to see the product, allowing us to showcase our vibrant, high-quality ingredients, emphasizing the premium nature and freshness of the Nomad Foods portfolio. |
 | Seeking Biomanufacturing of Transformational Ingredients in Consumer-Packaged Goods |
|
We are looking for approaches to engineer and optimize organisms (microbial and plant) for production and/or purification of relevant biomolecules in a non-trial-and-error format. It is believed that starting from a waste stream will be a more cost-effective solution. We are also interested in plant- or algae-based solutions that are scalable and cost effective. What We Are Looking For: • Strain engineering approaches that achieve target molecule production targets across multiple molecule classes in significantly less time versus the industry average • Host engineering capabilities in non-model systems • Scale up platforms/methods that are amenable to commodity scale ingredients • Downstream processing methods/technologies that facilitate continuous extraction and/or re-use of extractive reagents • Approaches that leverage feedstocks separate from the food chain |
| | Seeking injectable, highly flexible sealing system for personal care devices |
|
We are looking for a material /process that allows to inject a flexible sealing / fluid barrier in particular areas of an already assembled device and that can fill gaps in the range of 1 mm – 3 mm between movable and fixed parts. |
 | Knithera Lymph - Soft Robotics Textile Sleeve for Lymphedema |
|
Knithera Lymph is a breakthrough textile-based wearable device that merges soft robotics with high-performance textile engineering for the management of lymphedema, mimicking the manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage done by occupational therapists. Designed to replicate the precision and gentleness of MLD, it provides a safe, comfortable, and user-centric alternative to current bulky and poorly adapted systems, positioning this product as a powerful innovation. At its core, Knithera Lymph integrates pneumatic actuators within an adjustable, breathable, and comfortable knitted sleeve that conforms uniquely to each patient’s limb anatomy. Personalised 3D-printed inflatable polymeric bladders apply targeted pressure within a therapist-validated range, mimicking the Leduc method’s call-up and reabsorption manoeuvres. An integrated mobile application ensures streamlined access to MLD sessions, providing both users and therapists with real-time monitoring, data recording, and treatment personalization. By uniting advanced textile design, clinical methodologies, soft robotics, and digital health, Knithera Lymph delivers reliable, repeatable, and highly personalised lymphatic drainage, offering users a more accessible solution for long-term lymphedema management. |
 | LSF: B2B Chemtech, UK & NL, Angel round with lead investor, ≈40% funding secured |
|
LSF is a Chemtech business based in Amersham, UK, with extensive industry experience. A B2B operation, generating revenue from customers Proof of Concept (PoC) testing and a roadmap to deliver the first demonstrator facility. The LSF process accepts used solid or liquid, hydrocarbon-containing, feedstock materials. The process gasifies the feedstock and then using a liquid electrolyte, oxidation and saturation reactions are initiated. These reactions produce a recovered, saturated condensate and a solid, raw Carbon Black output. LSF's recovered condensate is of a higher quality and has far lower contaminants than its competitors and the rCB has been tested as suitable for vehicle and industrial rubber components. LSF has patented the core technology and the novel application of electrochemical processing of hydrocarbon-containing feedstocks. UK & US patents granted with EU patent expected to be granted in Q1, 24. |
 | Biodegradable aerogel highly versatile in applications and uses |
|
The Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA-CSIC) has developed a biodegradable aerogel capable of absorbing fluids while maintaining its integrity even in contact with water. In addition to its usefulness as a packaging material in agri-food, it is potentially useful in biomedical applications (for drug release), as an acoustic and thermal insulator, enzymatic catalysis or in the automotive industry. We are looking for companies from different sectors interested in licensing the patent and for the development of specific applications. |
