Innoscentia

In most parts of our world, we are using a highly inefficient system to determine food shelf life. Because of the inability to monitor products, producers are forced to assume worst-case scenarios when setting expiry dates, why about 30% of the shelf life is lost and locked up in the system. As the concern for food quality and food safety is growing around the world, the trend among end consumers is leaning towards more conservative interpretations of expiry dates, which emphasizes the need for a systematic shift in shelf-life determination.

Vision

Our vision is to become the category leader within dynamic shelf life indication technologies, and to help producers, retailers and end consumers to drastically reduce food waste around the world. Our vision is essentially to make it possible for all of us to consume the food we produce, and by doing so, to create a sustainable food system.

& our friends

Step into the world of the natural flavour magicians – where we enrich the world of snacks, treats & delicacies. We live by the faith that you can’t have too many friends! With all their beautiful personalities, friends enrich our lives, just as the abundant flavours we have in this wonderful world. And we love to invite all our friends, regardless of their choice of diet. Therefore, we decided all our products should be natural, and mainly from plants. & our friends as a brand, a belief, and a friend, will display these two defined personality attributes: One. We will only work with natural, organic, and primary focus on plant ingredients. Within our range, there are a few delicacies suitable for vegan friends, other for vegetarian friends, some for friends that exclude gluten or dairy, and almost all for any other friend. Why? Because the future should be honest, real, and heavily focused on what our plants can provide for a better world, oat to hemp and seaweed and beyond. You can say we like land, sea and..bees! Two. They will not contain any stuff that really shouldn’t be there. No artificial flavouring or unnatural preservatives. Neither suspiciously pumped-up ingredients nor phoney colourings. Why? We do not need to stuff our bodies with more things that are good for us – there are too many hidden ingredients that complicate things for us. And real friends do not complicate things in your life – right? So then, natural plant-based delicacies, snacks, and treats? Sounds pretty delicious! Yea, it is!

Delicacies should be for everyone – all over the world!

Vision

Delicacies should be for everyone – all over the world!. We envisage & our friends to be enjoyed anywhere globally, as having friends all over the world is the ever best!

Arwa FoodTech

Inadequate intake of dietary iron and fibres intake, mainly in young and middle-aged women. Quest for more nutritious vegan products. According to a survey published in 2019 (Statista, Ridder, 2019) most of the vegan or vegetarians in Sweden are women, with reported iron deficiencies. Based on a recent survey, 1 in 10 Swedes are vegan/vegetarian (Djurens Rätt, 2014), why there is an increased demand of plant-based foods. According to Coad and Conlon 2011 iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder affecting about 20-25% of the world’s population, predominantly children and women. Furthermore, according O’keefe 2019 there is the evidence that suggests that increasing dietary fibre intake is likely to increase lifespan, improve the quality of life during the added years, and substantially reduce health-care costs. There an enamours market need for dairy alternative drinks that fulfil nutritional needs among vulnerable consumer groups as well as more health products that are vegan adapted.

Sustainable Food Waste SFW

Today, the food chain doesn’t know how the shelf life of frozen and chilled food is affected by changes in temperature. To be on the safe side in the event of a temperature deviation, the food is thrown away. The innovative SFW app can, with the help of a secured database, deliver clear and up-to-date information on how a product’s shelf life has been affected by a rise in temperature. Which benefits the various players in the food chain through ensure shelf life, reduced food waste and a reduced environmental impact.

In order to meet the need for food from the global population increase, more food must be produced in the next four decades than in the last 9,000 years! At the same time as global hunger is increasing, a third of all food produced is thrown away, a large part of that fraction arises due to temperature deviations. One problem is very often the uncertainty surrounding remaining shelf life. Sustainable Food Waste SFW is a FoodTech startup that wants to contribute to a responsible and sustainable handling of tempered food with a clear vision: No food waste caused by temperature deviations!

KOASTAL

A 60% decrease in employment in the Swedish fishing industry has been identified from 2008 to 2018. Next to this, food production must double by 2050 to meet the demand. This two-folded need can be addressed by the production of seaweed has been proven to be sustainable in all three aspects of the world (economical, ecological and social). However, the current entry barriers are high with a lack of technical knowledge, the complex permit and administrative processes and the site selection.

We believe there is an urgent need for a shift in sea and ocean use. We must reconsider our approach to the sea and start exploiting its resources in a sustainable manner.
