Autonomous discovery labs offer a promising approach of tackling this challenge by leveraging advanced AI and robotics to rapidly explore new ways of breaking down and reassembling polymer chains. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_text_separator title="PFAS Explained" border_width="2"][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_column_text]PFAS are also known as “forever chemicals” because they do not break down easily in the environment and can accumulate over time. PFAS are used in a wide range of packaging, industrial, and consumer products for their water- and grease-resistant properties. However, concerns about the potential health and environmental impacts of PFAS are continuously growing. PFAS is commonly found worldwide...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] A Taste of Innovation for the Giants of the Food and Beverage Industry [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The biggest players of the Food & Beverage Industry are positioned to innovate internally, creating new food concepts through their own well-funded research and development. Increasingly these corporate giants are also expanding their resources outside the company to innovate externally by nurturing smaller, sometimes more cutting-edge food start-ups. One means for expanding their portfolio of products is inviting creative and successful foodpreneurs to the innovation table, and in some cases, investing in their companies. General Mills, Tyson, Whole Foods, and Kellogg, for example, all offer pitch days and accelerator programs for startups looking for funding and expertise to bring more of their innovative products to market.

I remember my inbox being flooded with documents, meeting requests and scientists pushing their research forward for my sponsorship. As Forbes magazine mentioned in an article last year “The presumption is that R&D spending is somehow connected to increased innovation, revenue growth and profits. However, leaders may be asking the wrong questions here. A focus on R&D spending might be a good way to gauge best practice within an industry, but it is not a measure of how innovative any company is. Having a great R&D process and achieving market success with the technologies we invent are two different things.” Nonetheless, budgets are the fact of corporate world and must be...
