Seeking ingredients and manufacturing processes to create meaty textures in plant-based productsWe are working with a global food manufacturer that is seeking innovative approaches for introducing meaty texture into plant-based meat and fish. Consumers are interested in plant-based foods because of the health benefits of reducing their meat intake, concerns about farm animal welfare, and the high CO2 emissions linked to livestock farming. However, some consumers who have tried plant-based meat list texture as one of the reasons why they chose not to purchase the products again. The company is interested in ingredients and manufacturing processes that can create authentic (look and feel) meaty textures in plant-based meat or fish products.

Seeking innovative ideas to improve safety when transporting LPGLPG is a versatile energy used mainly for cooking. It's portability allows it to be used in the most remote parts of the world providing modern energy to billions who otherwise rely on wood and charcoal. Moving LPG through the distribution chain, in cylinders and in bulk, is a risky business and incidents can occur. We are looking for ideas to reduce that risk. We want to hear your innovative ideas to create a safer environment for transporting LPG through the distribution channel and support the already good safety record that the industry has. These ideas might include: - The improvement of existing equipment design, or the creation of new equipment, for handling LPG cylinders, both small and large. - The loading and unloading of bulk road tankers or railcars. - The role of the driver of both packed and bulk vehicles and how their procedures could be made safer through driver alerts with, for example, facial recognition techniques. - Improved scheduling, to reduce the risks of transporting LPG on the road. - The improvement of existing, or the creation of new, handling procedures for both packed and bulk LPG. - How the utilisation and the linking of digitilisation technology can be weaved into this innovation to make it attractive and easy to use.

Seeking innovative material processing and manufacturing technologies to improve battery performanceThe client is an established manufacturer of consumer devices, many of which rely on lithium-ion batteries (LIB) for power generation. They are continually searching for improvements in the performance of battery components for current and future products, and actively engage with research and commercial partners to achieve this. Lithium-ion batteries are used in an ever-increasing range of applications from consumer devices to electric cars, with research focusing until now on innovations around the cathode, anode and electrolyte materials used. As the rate of improvement in energy density begins to slow from these innovations, many research efforts are focusing on next generation battery technologies as a potential route for improved performance and cost, but many of these have a lengthy development trajectory or are exclusively focused on the growing electric vehicle market. However, whilst many manufacturers choose to keep their manufacturing processes as secret know-how, improvements in the various stages of battery cell manufacturing may also provide considerable improvements to battery characteristics, subsequent performance and their CSR (corporate social responsibility) credentials, with potentially faster speed to market.

Seeking Innovative meat flavouring and preserving technologiesWe are working with a food manufacturing business and brand owner whose products include cured, chilled meat. Curing is a traditional preservation process used to impart colour, flavour and texture to some meats, in addition to food safety control against pathogens. The curing process combines several elements (e.g. use of a brine, hanging, tumbling/manipulating, forming and cooking) over a number of days/weeks/months, to produce a variety of tastes and textures in the end products, e.g. a traditional cured, sliced ham. This process also requires the addition of nitrates/nitrites (in the form of the brine), which are injected into the raw meat and/or used to immerse it, before further processing. There is research suggesting that the use of nitrates/nitrites can cause potential health issues, through the formation of potentially carcinogenic nitrosamines. It is for this reason that food processors and retailers are exploring alternative ingredients, e.g. vegetable powders containing natural sources of nitrates, to reduce the impact on the human body. However, replicating the physical appearance, as well as texture and flavour of premium quality meat has been problematic when using alternative ingredients and the chilled environments required for food processing.Innoget posted this Technology Call

Seeking Innovative Sustainable Biopolymers and Biorenewable Building BlocksSynthetic polymers are often used as thickening agents for liquid formulations. Already small quantities (< 1%) enable the formation of a gel network, which is most important for the correct application of the product. However, due to their persistence the reputation of synthetic polymers has deteriorated during the last years, which has increased the demand for natural alternatives. Despite the huge interest of the industry in green alternatives, successful candidates are a rarity, due to numerous technical and commercial hurdles. It is therefore most important to find partnerships with universities, start-ups, or well-established companies, which may lead to the development of new sustainable polymers for industrial and consumer applications.

Seeking Innovative tea brewing equipment for food outletsWe are working with a beverage company supplying the global retail and foodservice markets with a variety of non-alcoholic, branded beverages and dispensing equipment. Specifically for tea beverages (both prepared for hot and cold servings), the client currently provides its customers with beverage concentrates (e.g. syrups to be diluted) that are prepared at a centralized location or provides ingredients (e.g. tea leaf) for beverage preparation at the customer outlet. The current equipment that dispenses these branded teas for immediate consumption by consumers are:-“- Bag in Box/Concentrate Fountain Dispenser (both aseptic and non-aseptically filled); In-Store tea/coffee Brewer (for fresh brewed hot and/or iced serving); and Bubbler (prepared fresh at retail). Whilst the beverages have a great taste and the flavour is consistent, which is vital for the client’s branded products, the combined offering of equipment and beverage often lacks optimal design, superior consumer experience and choice. Our client wishes to enhance their equipment offering by providing greater equipment options to current and new foodservice partners, ensuring that the end consumers receive the best possible tea beverage, while providing its partners with a differentiated solution and value as a beverage provider.

Seeking Insulation technology to enable cold-touch surfacesWe are working with a designer and manufacturer of portable electrical devices for use by consumers in various scenarios, including when at home, work, or travelling. A number of these devices use heating elements, and currently require protective cases to ensure the consumer doesn’t come into direct contact with a heat source or heated outer surface. However, this can make the devices bulky, heavy and hard to use, negatively impacting the user experience. The client wishes to protect consumers from unintended access to hot surfaces, by insulating the heat source and / or cooling the external surfaces touched by the user.

Seeking Kitchen sink: The centerpiece of your kitchen (Call for EU University students ONLY)The kitchen sink is often undervalued, despite its centrality in the home. Traditionally seen as a purely functional component, it has not yet fully capitalized on emerging trends in smart home technology, sustainability, and modern design aesthetics. The challenge is to understand the needs of B2B customers (e.g., kitchen retailers, developers) as well as final consumers (homeowners, renovators) and explore how evolving trends can reshape the role of the kitchen sink. This project will examine how the kitchen sink can be elevated from a utility to a centerpiece by integrating new technologies and future trends. Submission Requirements (University Students application ONLY), 3,000 Euros funding support to student teams selected. This is an exclusive call for university students within the European Union to participate in an exciting opportunity to co-create an innovative solution in collaboration with a leading company under the INDUSAC EU-funded project. Supported by Innoget, this initiative aims to foster collaboration between academia and industry, empowering students to contribute their knowledge and creativity to tackle real-world challenges.
