Foodtech solutions reinforcing the food system

Yelte

Providing the market with a new type of plant based drink that are both sustainable and nutritious. Most of the plant based drinks on market today are flawed in one of these two regards. Either the nutritional values are quite frankly very poor with high levels of sugars and low levels of proteins and healthy fatty acids, or the have a big negative environmental impact with de-forestation, excessive watering, lenghty transports etc. Our product is both high nutritious and highly sustainable.

Our vision is to push the boundries of the next generation of plant based sustainable foods. We want to make the sustainable choice an easy one by providing a product that is both delicious and nutritious. Consumers will no longer have to sacrifice anything when choosing a truly sustainable alternative.

Gårdsfisk

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector and has been for 50 years. The challenge is that the majority of production contributes to overfishing, destroyed ecosystems and has a negative impact on wild fish. At the same time, the demand for seafood is expected to increase by 100 million tonnes to 2050. Market for fish can with can with good conscience be described as a jungle for consumers. There are several different fishing methods, several different farming methods and lots of different labels that very few know what they mean or if they really do any good. The challenge is to develop a sustainable fishfood chain.

Vision

The vision of Gårdsfisk is to integrate aquaculture with agriculture and raise robust, herbivorous and fantastically delicate fish on land, manure can end up on arable land, the water is used twice, first in fish farming and then as irrigation, we avoid eutrophication, overfishing, destroyed ecosystems and do not risk infect wild fish. So we could raise the world’s most sustainable fish.Gårdsfisk strives to be able to achieve a complete circular model in order to be able to raise fish with the absolute least possible environmental and climate impact.

Natural Edu AB

About 13% of all deaths on the planet and a huge number of casualties are caused by high blood pressure. One of the main facilitator of high blood pressure is sodium rich table slat. By replacing the sodium in the table salt with potassium we can witness phenomenal changes in the overall public health.

Indigo Salt is a naturopathic salt as a supplement with more than 70% KCl consistency. It is thought to be the most suitable alternative to replace the regular table salt for daily use. Indigo Salt is 100% organic, unrefined, and yet tastes much more naturally flavourful and smoother than any other regular table salt.

Go Cirkulär

It is stimates that 1/3 of the food produced globally end up to waste. Many of the food that is wasted, such as fruit and vegetables, has still a lot of bio- compunds with benefitial properties for the skin. At Go Cirkulär, we would like to extend the life of ingredients that otherwise will be discarded to produce high quality sustainable skincare products that are good for the people’s health and the planet.

Vision

My vision for Go Cirkulär is to become the first Swedish Upcycled skincare brand with Stores and a presence all over the world. I see the brand selling all different personal care products that are inspired by a circular economy and more sustainable consumption models. I would love to open multi-spaces where people can shop, but also to do other activities, to learn and share with the community, of course, surrounded by good nordic aesthetics and design. I see Go Cirkulär as a movement and a way of living, perhaps of people like me, who care about their skin but feel we can make better choices every day to protect our planet.

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. Hence, we believe that sea farming of seaweed, is the solution to many environmental challenges. Therefore, we want to make sea farming of seaweed accessible to everyone. We want to lower barriers to enter the promising industry of cultivating seaweed, which provides a sustainable solution to many challenges.

Under the hood, the tool combines data from various sources and applies machine learning algorithms to generate forecasts with optimal accuracy.

SAVEGGY

Globally, about 45% of fruits and vegetables get wasted. Extension of shelf-life reduces carbon emissions and pollutions, increases the energy saving, educes inventory and ensures more food reaches consumers. To extend shelf life, primarily, plastic wrapping is used that will be eliminated with our solution. Our bio-based edible vegan coating extends the shelf-life of fruits and vegetables which is easily applied on the selected ones by using dipping or spraying methods after harvest.

Trash to gold

Trash to gold is here to accomplish one thing: to replace today’s single-use to-go products with upcycled alternatives that are better for the user and better for the environment. We do this by collecting operational biowaste from service-sector businesses and turn it into unique and good-looking products that can be (re)used instead.

Imagine a reusable to-go cup for coffee made from coffee grounds, a reusable lunchbox for sushi made from leftover rice, or a cutlery set made from old popsicle sticks or leftover food. The possibilities are endless.

Berry Lab

Berry Lab’s R&D team focuses on the inherent healthy properties of wild Nordic berries. The goal is to develop berry-based natural food products and concepts with specific and proven positive health effects on human metabolism.

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.

Heja Havre

Heja havre simplifies the stressful everyday with a useful and tasty instant porridge. Perfect for the conscious on-the-go individual. Made on scanian oats. Just add water and we’ll fix the rest!

Problem: Havré is 22 years old, studies OATology at university and dances ballOAT in his spare time. In short, Havré has a lot of things to do and is constantly on-the-go. Havré is sitting on campus studying, he is tired and broke. He suddenly becomes very hungry, what should he do now?

He only has time for something fast, as he will soon have to take the bus to his ballOAT lesson. But at the university café only there are only sweets and cakes, which unfortunately are not vegan. Havré needs a snack that gives him long-lasting energy so he can study longer and go to his dance training. What is he going to do?

Hi Havré! We have got a solution for you! Unhealthy snacks should not limit anyone’s everyday life. We offer a snack that is both good, nutritious and filling. Above all, its fast and you can eat it on-the-go … It’s a vegan instant porridge!

Vision

Heja Havre will, at first, mainly be sold in Skåne (south of Sweden). This is because the company has Skåne as a starting point, but also because we care about the local aspect of our company. We think it is important that a locally produced product is also sold locally. This is to minimize transport and make it as sustainable as possible! Despite this, we at Heja Havre see an opportunity to achieve sales nationally and within Scandinavia in a sustainable way in the future.

Heja Havre’s ambition is to grow large on the oat market and thus Heja Havre is under development and working to scale up production. After carrying out a hand-scaled production, we have learned an incredible amount. Now it’s time for us to become more large-scale, so that we can offer our customers larger volumes and more mushy snacks! We are looking for a contract manufacturer that meets Heja Havre’s requirements as well as our customers’ requirements for durability, packaging, ingredients etc. There for Heja Havre 2.0 will be launched in fall. We are working hard to reach this goal while keeping our standards and product quality.

Within 1 year from launch, our goal is to be available at at least 10 local ICA retailers in Skåne. As well as establishing a collaboration with a large online retailer, eg Mathem, Apotea, Meds etc. We also want to grow in the gym/workout industry, which we hope to be able to do by starting by being present at 3 sports facilities (gyms or similar). We also want to be available at at least 5 cafés in Skåne. Also establish 10 regular corporate customers, who subscribe to a “porridge box” that they receive every month. Finally our goal is to have a functioning E-commerce that can represent Heja Havre and what we stand for!

Within 5 years, we want to develop our range of oat-based products and be able to offer even more good vegan snacks filled with oats. Imagine small oat balls with the natural sweetness from oats, rolled in vegan chocolate. The perfect snack on-the-go and as a Saturday treat! And launch a larger family pack of instant porridge!

The possibilities are endless with oats;)

We also aim to be in 3 chains in the Swedish grocery trade. In addition to this, an on-the-go product must of course be available where people are most on the go. Thus, a goal to establish dealers such as Pressbyrån, 7/11, Statoil etc, is highly relevant. Heja Havre also wants to be available where you travel and thus wishes to be able to enjoy a hotel chain’s breakfast buffet.

Arvalla AB

Arvalla AB is part of the project Growing State Bazaars, where we participate with project management. One of our challenges is to grow mushrooms, dry them and then pack them.

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.
