A community shaping the future of food

Nära & Naturlig

Nära & Naturlig has developed a new innovative fish farming technology that reuses all farming water and residual product back into the internal production again. The fish get natural feed in the form of aquatic microbes and through the systems microbial-metabolism food by-products can be reused. In addition, the production cost is significantly decreased, superior fish health is observed and the final product of fish gets a more natural ”wild” taste.

Vision

to become a big player in the global food sector, to be able to create social impact towards a future with sustainable and healthy food production. In addition, Nära & Naturlig will offer an alternative to wild caught fish, which enables recovery of the marine ecosystems, and the system reuses food by-products into a product with higher biological value in the form of nutritious fish compared to biogas. The final goal is to develop a sustainable fish farming method in Sweden, which can be established internationally and above all help developing nations to get access towards safe and nutritious food produced in a sustainable way.

Forkcast

Forkcast helps restaurants leverage machine learning to improve their planning. Much like how the weather forecast is used to decide if the outdoor seating should be put out, the sales forecast provided by Forkcast allows restaurants to make accurate decisions for scheduling and inventory planning. The result is a more efficient restaurant – optimized staff utilization, improved employee satisfaction and reduced food waste lead to benefits in terms of profits and sustainability performance.

The tool is easy to use and requires no digital expertise – it’s really as simple as checking the weather. Today, even the small restaurant on the corner can make use of the benefits brought by artificial intelligence. Under the hood, the tool combines data from various sources and applies machine learning algorithms to generate forecasts with optimal accuracy.

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.

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. We solve the problem of the alternative protein gap by providing food manufacturers with Promyc, a unique fungi-based protein source with massive benefits over ingredients in the status quo.

Our vision is to be the global leader in fungi-based food technologies, and the disruption of alternative protein is just a starting point. Our long-term ambition is to provide a comprehensive industrial solutions, ranging from functional ingredients to nutritional supplements & nutraceuticals, specialty compounds, biomaterials, biomass post-processing, and valorization of byproducts & sidestreams.

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.

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.
