 | Seeking kerbside recyclable alternative to our flexible plastic bags used in frozen food cooking for microwave usage |
|
As a global market leader in frozen foods, Nomad Foods is seeking to future-proof our packaging portfolio by identifying sustainable, kerbside-recyclable alternatives to our current flexible plastic bags. The solution must withstand continuous storage at -18°C and meet RecyClass RAM Grade A or B criteria, specifically optimized for the UK recycling infrastructure. We prioritize materials that can be integrated into existing manufacturing lines and are supported by case studies of successful market implementation. The ideal solution should be scalable across our global brand footprint. |
| | 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 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. |
 | Elimination of blade tip vortices of aircraft propellers |
|
TECHNOLOGY/PRODUCT OVERVIEW Blade tip vortex is a powerful phenomenon that develops very quickly. However, ‘widening’ the blade tips increases the possibility of greater power and performance, at the same time, the vortex losses generated at the blade tips increase drastically. The solution currently used to reduce the vortices of the blade tips is reducing the angle of attack close to the blade tip. This is how it tries to avoid significant losses. At the same time, naturally, the drag force or the transmittable power decreases. Eliminating or reducing blade tip losses (eliminating vortices around the blade tip) means significant fuel savings and increased lifespan, efficiency, and performance especially when using wide blade tips. The elimination of blade tip loss reduces vibrations, thus reducing internal friction of the structure’s material, thereby increasing lifespan. This results in significant financial savings, e.g. in the case of a modern blade. Due to centrifugal force, the “winglet” used on wings moving in a linear direction cannot be used in the case of a rotating system. |
 | Smart Tag to Determine the Quality of Packaged Fish |
|
Polymeric material that responds colorimetrically to the presence of biogenic amines. The presence of biogenic amines is related to fish spoilage, becoming an indicator of freshness and quality for optimal consumption. The material developed is able to determine biogenic amines in solution and in gaseous phase. |
 | Novel highly-sensitive microwave sensors for dielectric characterization |
|
Microwave technology is of special interest for the implementation of low-cost, low profile, and highly sensitive planar sensors devoted to the analysis of material properties. Microwave sensors exhibit a wide range of potential applications, in so many different fields such as health/veterinary (monitoring of electrolyte concentration in blood or urine), industrial processes (fermentation monitoring, liquid concentrations, cleaning processes monitoring…) or construction (defect detection in infrastructures), among others. The main characteristics that make this sensor technology competitive are the high sensitivity and the possibility of real-time monitoring, the latter being very important since it offers the chance to save time and resources that could be critical in some industries |
