Bioextrax AB

The need for cost-effective and sustainable proteins – our processes: 1. turn poultry feathers into highly digestible protein hydrolysates for feed applications and 2. generates hydrolyzed single cell protein as a co-product from production of the biobased and biodegradable polymer PHA.

Vision

To provide companies generating organic waste/by-products the opportunity to upcycle their materials, thereby contributing to a more resource efficient and sustainable value chains.

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.

Purewell

Innovative beverage producer that focuses on functional beverages with a clean label and without added sweeteners.

Funky Flavour

We don’t follow fleeting trends or use fancy technologies, we create superfoods through an 8000-year-old tradition that uses nothing but the power of nature. Our promise is tasty, natural, and nutritious products that are local, vegan, and mostly rescued.

Mossagården Eko

We want to accelerate the process of starting an organic hemp center at Mossagården in Veberöd and kick-start the large hemp factory for innovation and research; a future-proof, time-adapted and smart factory.

Our vision and mission is to work close to the university in collaborative environments and work for the advancement of hemp in harmony with Sweden’s organic farmers. Our ambition is for the organic hemp in Sweden to make the “big leap” and in this respect we want to take advantage of the capacity from the entire plant.

Our long-term ambition with Mossagården is to, with the help of healthy, nutritious quality products in the protein shift and also environmentally oriented services, climb the ”sustainability steps” and achieve the goal of serving people and connecting them to nature with the same keywords as the EU’s major investment: ”From farm to fork ”. We strive to protect and preserve our environment and the planet with our actions.

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.

Vision

We want to position Lupin as the natural European alternative for imported soy. We want to create an industry around Lupin in Europe and cut down the importation of 32 million tons of soy annually to the EU.

EVE Rebellion

EVE rebellion was started because their founders Mikaela & Emelie found cocoa juice and in 2020 began to work with this residual product with the idea of creating a really good alcohol-free drink – which tastes good, contributes to sustainability and creates a festive atmosphere.

Cocoa juice, which is a residual product, is thrown away in large quantities in the huge cocoa industry – as a product, it is sweet and healthy with tones of lychee and elder. In the summer of 2022, the first batch was launched – completely natural and without added sugar. The drink is produced in small-scale production in Trelleborg.

& 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

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 want to make the packaging as attractive as possible for the end consumer, while at the same time having a long shelf life and providing all the necessary information.

Our vision is to find alternative ways out to the consumer to increase profitability in primary production. At the same time as we improve Sweden’s degree of self-sufficiency.

Marine taste

The salty sea off the coast of Bohuslän is a perfect environment for the sea urchin, Ciona intestinalis – an anemone-like aquatic animal that is grown in the same way as mussels.

At Marine Taste, we take advantage of the lake’s fantastic properties and flavors. When it contributes, it contributes to a cleaner sea. After harvest, it becomes a delicious flavor enhancer.

Our product consists of 100 percent natural raw material – no additives. Try and discover the full-bodied taste of umami, soft marine aromas and with a distinct saltiness.

DiaPure

DiaPure filter material is designed for Phosphorus traps in sewage systems. DiaPure is based on a naturally porous material covered in a coating with phosphorus binding properties. The material does not break down, does not clogge and works regardless of the pH level. This results in highly reactive and long lasting material.

AgVital

Food is humanity’s biggest single challenge – the single biggest cause of ill health in the world, climate change but also the loss of biodiversity. 50% of the world’s population suffers from malnutrition. Obesity costs 2.8% of GDP while food accounts for 25% of CO2. The answer is HBB, Hjext Balanced Behavior, a scalable, digital behavioral system that creates conscious experiences and develops a globally demand-driven healthy and sustainable digital food system. Optimal well-being for the individual, the environment and society. Today’s ultra processed food chain is unsustainable.

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.

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.

Selcis BioPharma

Short Chain Fatty Acids (SCFA) are bacterial metabolites produced from fermentation products of dietary fibers and they are major mediators of differentiation, maturation, and activation of intestinal tissue and exerts potent effects on colonic mucosal functions through inhibition of inflammation.

An intestinal dysbiosis can be caused by antibiotics or poor diets, and can lead to decreased levels of SCFA´s in the gut. By improving the nutritional condition of the colon mucosa it may be possible to prevent or even alleviate some diseases. Of the biological active substances formed, the most important is butyric acid which stimulates mucosal cell proliferation, blood flow and oxygen uptake, resulting in a reduced gut permeability and influx of toxic/inflammatory substances to the circulation and may therefore decrease the risk for endotoxemia (low-grade inflammation) and associated diseases.

Selcis BioPharma is developing a technology where SCFA´s can be delivered to the colon and potentially prevent or restore gut homeostasis.

ConServ Sverige

More than 20Million take-away packages are used by restaurants in Sweden every year.
