 | Seeking Business Enablers to Optimize Processes, Enhance Supply Chains, and Drive Digital Transformation in Frozen Foods Industry |
|
Nomad Foods, Europe’s leading frozen food company has launched its Future Foods Lab, a bold new venture clienting initiative, in partnership with Innoget. As part of Nomad Foods’ innovation strategy, the Future Foods Lab will explore market-ready solutions proposed by startups to address key business challenges, which can then be piloted and scaled across Europe. The Future Foods Lab will offers a unique opportunity whereby those who apply will benefit from: -A paying customer relationship with Nomad Foods -Access to a test and learn environment with real-world validation -Deep industry immersion in frozen food manufacturing and global supply chains -Mentorship from cross-functional experts in R&D, marketing, procurement, and more -Opportunities for co-branding, commercial scaling, and long-term partnerships |
| | Seeking Next-Generation Equipment and Processing Technologies for Tempura Batter-Coated Fish Products |
|
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 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. |
 | Combating colorectal cancer recurrence - an innovative predictive approach using miRNAs |
|
- Enables prediction of colorectal cancer recurrence risk, supporting proactive monitoring, treatment, and prevention for high-risk patients - Detects specific miRNA combinations with higher predictive accuracy compared to traditional markers, allowing timely intervention to reduce the likelihood of recurrence - Precise risk assessment and early intervention minimize unnecessary treatments and follow-ups, optimizing healthcare resource allocation and enhancing long-term health outcomes for patients |
 | Syrupy products powder preparation method |
|
Researchers from the University of Burgos have developed a procedure to produce powdered products by freeze drying or vacuum drying from syrupy products (SP) using optionally maltodextrin as a dehydration carrier, so that fine and pleasant powdery solids are obtained. The dehydrated products preserve as close as possible the sensory and physicochemical properties of the starting products. |
 | Technology and innovation in food and beverage |
|
Reducing waste, complying with regulatory standards and the sustainable use of products from Brazilian biodiversity are just some of the challenges facing the food and beverage industry. To support the sector on these and many other issues, the team at the SENAI Institute of Innovation and Technology in Food and Beverage provides metrology, research, development and innovation (RD&I) services for the food industry. Some examples are shelf life assessment, sanitary analysis, microbiological testing, regulatory compliance and the development of technologies for production lines. |
