Open Innovation

How it works

Our Open Innovation team is dedicated to bringing the food and beverage ingredient success stories of tomorrow to life; by combining our technical and commercial expertise with inspired innovators, we create partnerships designed to make sure products of the future meet their full potential.

 

How we can help

We work with a range of external parties that have an innovative technology or product that we can help develop and/or bring to market in the following areas:

  • Sweeteners, texturants and health & wellness ingredients that challenge existing  products on the market

  • Ingredients that work well in foods without affecting taste or quality

  • Although open to most ideas, we give priority to patented new technologies

  • We’ll need to know what stage your innovation is at in the regulatory process
