Seeking Next-Generation Equipment and Processing Technologies for Tempura Batter-Coated Fish Products

• Posted by Nomad Foods
• ·
• Project Size : Strategic project backed by large scale funding €

Nomad Foods is seeking innovative equipment, processing technologies, or integrated solutions that enable the development of next-generation tempura batter-coated fish products. By “conventional” battering and coating systems, we mean standard waterfall/curtain batter application combined with static frying or baking, which limits coating uniformity, consistency, and yield at scale. We are looking for solutions that demonstrably improve on this baseline by delivering: a more even and well-adhered batter coating across irregular fish portions, reduced batter loss/waste during application, and greater batch-to-batch consistency of coating weight and texture. We expect proposals exclusively from commercial technology providers — equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, technology start-ups, and system integrators with deployable or near-deployable solutions. Academic institutions or research groups without a commercial product, prototype, or industrial partner are not the focus of this call. By “improve robustness” we mean equipment and processes that maintain consistent coating performance despite normal variability in raw material (fish portion size and shape), batter viscosity, and line speed, with minimal downtime or operator intervention. By “flexibility for integration” we mean compatibility with our existing battering/coating and freezing lines: solutions that can be retrofitted or integrated without requiring a full line replacement, and that can accommodate multiple product formats (fillets, portions, nuggets) on the same equipment.

Seeking Biomanufacturing of Transformational Ingredients in Consumer-Packaged Goods

• Project Size : 250,000 - 1,000,000 €

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

• Patents for licensing

This patent presents an innovative technology to regenerate spent lithium-ion battery cathodes using an electrochemical process with redox mediators. It allows the recovery of cathodes made of lithium iron phosphate (LFP), reducing the need for new materials and minimizing environmental impact. The solution is more sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective, ideal for electric vehicle batteries and high-performance devices, promoting recycling and the circular economy.

Nutraceutical Beverage From Coffee Cherry

• Patents for licensing

Coffee cherry, commonly discarded during coffee bean production, is repurposed in this innovation into a high-value nutraceutical through a clinically validated, sustainable extraction process. Rich in antioxidants and natural bioactive compounds, the product supports cardiovascular function, raises HDL (good) cholesterol, lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, enhances metabolic performance, and improves blood circulation. The process is designed with minimal environmental impact generating low emissions and aligning with zero-waste, circular economy models. Backed by clinical testing for both safety and efficacy, the technology offers a scientifically grounded, health-driven alternative to synthetic supplements. After decades of research and clinical testing, this novel and functional beverage has been granted approval by FDA, and recognized by WIPO in early 2025. The inventors seek licensing partnerships with food, beverage, and nutraceutical manufacturers, and also welcome collaboration with academic institutions for further research into coffee cherry compounds.
