Tomorrow’s food is both sustainable and healthy

Consumers and society are placing increasing demands for a future in which food is both sustainably and ethically produced and at the same time has a positive impact on health. Together with our customers and partners, we are developing sustainable systems along the length of the food chain. We develop innovative techniques and processes to increase sustainability, efficiency and quality, as well as researching new foods that emphasis positive health effects throughout life.

Their collaboration began at Food Venture & Partnering Days

Food Venture & Partnering Days är en arena där startup-bolag, livsmedelsindustri, framgångsrika entreprenörer, experter, investerare och affärsänglar inom livsmedelsbranschen samlas för att hitta möjliga samarbeten. Två aktörer som hittade varandra via evenemanget är IBM och startup-bolaget IQ Chef. För dem ledde mötet till ett samarbete som innebar att IQ Chef tog klivet in i IBMs globala entreprenörsprogram.
