A community shaping the future of food

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.

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.

Mr Gourmet

Mats Rodenstam runs the catering company Mr Gourmet in Siriushuset in Ystad. Together with his colleagues, he offers catering, either in his own banquet hall or at the customers’ homes.

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.

Maisha deli

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.

Nixta Tacos

The current version of TacoFredag does not fulfill some of the consumer preferences. On top of that, a lot of effort is required to access products directly from small-scale farmers in Skåne. We are offering a home delivery box with authentic recipes from Mexico using fresh ingredients from local farms.

Our vision is to bridge the gap between small-scale farmers and consumers. We will accomplish it by reinventing the Tacofredag, from a mass produced product, to a curated experience.

& 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!

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.

En God Granne

En God Granne develops and sell business concept for locally produced food to grocery stores.

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.

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.

Our goal is that as many people as possible should purify their waste water from phosphorus regardless of whether you live in areas with a high protection area or not, because it protects nature and forms a natural cycle; what previously was waste, can be of use again.

Glucanova

High fiber foods and whole grains provide well known healthy and preventive properties and can reduce risk factors for lifestyle related diseases. Frequently, those products are not tasty/attractive enough and thus failing to reach consumers. Glucanova develops tasty, nutritious, consumer-friendly and convenient high fiber liquid food concepts by careful selection of raw materials, in combination with unique proprietary bio-processing methods.

Our vision is to conduct world leading R&D of nutritious and high fiber liquid foods focusing in keeping, and ideally improving, the inherent healthy and preventive properties of the food raw material. Our innovative technological methods aid in the development of tasty and convenient consumer food concepts in a sustainable way. The health effects and/or preventive properties of our food concepts are evaluated in clinical trials, in collaboration with academic and clinical partners.

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.
