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.

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.

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.

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!

ConServ Sverige

More than 20Million take-away packages are used by restaurants in Sweden every year. The alternatives to plastic available today require a lot of chemicals in the manufacturing and require chemical barriers to resist hot liquids and greasy sauces.

We propose a natural leaf-based solution with zero added chemicals.

Our vision is to remove chemicals altogether from food packaging. We strive to utilize the natural resources in its purest form to be truly sustainable and circular leaving behind nothing. The idea contributes to 4 of the 17 UN sustainability goals. We pledge to act as responsible producers with minimum resources and high energy efficiency. Through the business, we partner with Indian farmers and employ rural Indian women contributing to the economic development of marginal communities.

SunFeeds

Hunger is the world’s greatest solvable health problem. There are 17 million children who are living on the edge between life and death due to hunger. In Sweden alone 60% of the population over 65 years are at risk of being malnourished. Hunger can take on many forms and affect different people but the devastation remains great. In order to reach the UNs sustainable development goals number #2 Zero Hunger there is a need for more innovative solutions to the problem.

Tröskarehus

We are working to build a business that will process the crops from the cultivation to the customers both private individuals and entrepreneurs, through a hydrothermal process of the grain. In the next step we grind it and then we pack the flour or we crush the grain and make muesli. After the hydrothermal treatment, the body can more easily assimilate the seeds’ nutrients as minerals. The treatment also helps to make flours and groats easy to use in porridge, gruels, waffles, pancakes, pastries, soups, smoothies, bread etc.

Our vision is to increase the value of the grain by refining it locally and providing an increased nutritional content to the end user.

Cirkulär

Cheese production is tremendously resource-inefficient. For every kilogram of cheese produced, the cheesemaker must process 10 liters of milk. The reason for this is that cheese is effectively a milk concentrate, whereby liquids are removed, and milk protein and fat is concentrated and formed into a curd. Consider then the fact that around 45% of all milk produced globally is used for cheese production and the massive impact of cheese on the environment becomes obvious.

Cirkulär AB will be a new player in the value chain of the dairy industry, providing a complementary raw material for dairy processing – microbially produced milk proteins for a more resource-efficient industry. Cirkulär AB and similar companies will be the new producers of milk components for the production dairy products, which will ease the pressure of current milk production on the environment.
