A community shaping the future of food

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.

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!

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.

Melzer scandinavia

In a world dominated by beverages born in a lab from chemical compounds and sold off as ”natural flavors”, we have chosen a different path. Our heart lies in true natural flavors and going beyond norms and rules to create a unique and personal experience.
Our journey has just begone and there’s a world of flavors to explore. 

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.

FarmUp

FarmUp connect food producers directly with end-customers. Today over 100 producers use our app to sell to consumers, grocery stores and restaurants. Today many producers are completely reliant on wholesalers (who dictate the terms). Using FarmUp we empower and allow them to dictate the terms of their business. For their customers we gather all producers in one place and make it easy and convenient to buy locally produced food.

Our ambition is to make locally produced food more accessible. Whether you eat at home or at a restaurant – there should be sustainable options. We want to lead a food revolution towards a more sustainable food system.

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.

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.

Gnista Spirits

Swedish Gnista was born out of the sense that these people deserve something better. Our take is dark, intense and complex – liquids that have the ability to replace alcohol when mixed in drinks. Making it possible to shake non-alcoholic cocktails that taste and look just like alcoholic ones. For real. We like to call it the next generation non-alco spirit, at all means it’s no doubt different from the rest of the subtle products on the market. Gnista is hand-made only an hour’s drive from the HQ in Malmo, and has been made possible using a unique combination of gastronomy, state-of-the-art technology and classic spirit making techniques (where distillation, brewing and barrel ageing are central).

Lupinta

Lupinta produces tasty, healthy and environmentally friendly meat-substitutes based on locally farmed lupin beans. Lupin is a native European legume, high in plant-protein content, high in fibre and low in fat, that can be farmed in the Nordic countries, being a perfect alternative with a lower carbon footprint to both meat and imported soy-based options.

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.

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. These chemicals can disintegrate and accumulate in our body as we consume take-away foods and get into our soil and water during incineration/ recycling. 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.

Seatrients

Seatrients is a company unlocking the health secrets of the sea, starting our journey with the traditions of the Caribbean algae farming culture. The secret ingredient, sea moss algae, has been known throughout the islands as an immune booster, fertility enhancer, and a symbol of health and strength. These benefits have always been passed down from the elder generations, but modern research has shown that the range of benefits are far more immense. This resource is an excellent source of iron, zinc, omega-fatty acids, and B vitamins; nutrients that are commonly needed to enrich the diets of hundreds of millions of undernourished people today.

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.

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.

LuFu

LuFu provides sustainable locally grown lupin products to help our customers make good, healthy and sustainable choices by providing locally produced alternatives to meat and soy products. We use locally grown lupin beans to reduce the dependency of imported soybeans, decrease carbon footprint and fulfill Sweden’s goal of becoming self-sufficient in food consumption.

Stacky’s

Stacky’s is a reaction to the fact that the food industry seems to be stuck in a never-ending loop to create fake meat. Which is why much of the available plant-based food has become too pricy, filled with additives and doesn’t taste like meat nor good. 

Stacky’s is smarter food, made from Swedish produce without any additives. Choose from Hot & Spicy, Smokey BBQ or our well balanced Stacky’s Original.

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.

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.

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.

Scandinavian Algae

We want to develop new ways of producing food for our Nordic climate. A blue-green food revolution with fresh and locally produced ingredients from climate-smart cultivation of nutritious Spirulina.

Mycorena

There is a huge gap between market potential and current market value of alternative protein. Manufacturers cannot bridge the gap utilizing available plant-based alternatives, due to poor product quality, limited efficiency & scalability, and an unacceptable climate footprint.

& our 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?

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.
