 | Seeking kerbside recyclable alternative to our flexible plastic bags used in frozen food cooking for microwave usage |
|
As a global market leader in frozen foods, Nomad Foods is seeking to future-proof our packaging portfolio by identifying sustainable, kerbside-recyclable alternatives to our current flexible plastic bags. The solution must withstand continuous storage at -18°C and meet RecyClass RAM Grade A or B criteria, specifically optimized for the UK recycling infrastructure. We prioritize materials that can be integrated into existing manufacturing lines and are supported by case studies of successful market implementation. The ideal solution should be scalable across our global brand footprint. |
| | Seeking a next generation material for safe Microwave, Oven and Air Fryer cooking from frozen |
|
As a global market leader in the frozen food sector, Nomad Foods is seeking advanced material solutions capable of maintaining structural and chemical integrity across an extreme thermal lifecycle: from deep-freeze storage at -18°C to active cooking in microwaves, air fryers, and conventional ovens (up to 220°C). The material must not adversely affect the product in any way: Proposals must demonstrate that the material has zero organoleptic impact, ensuring no migration of taste, odor, or aroma to the food product throughout its lifecycle. To ensure the long-term sustainability of our packaging portfolio, the material must achieve a RecyClass Recyclability Assessment Method (RAM) rating of Grade A or B. This may be accomplished through the use of an appropriate barrier coating or by utilising an existing recyclable substrate. The packaging format remains open, though our preference is to identify solutions that could replace our current flexible plastic cook‑in pouches or trays. The technology we are seeking should be at the functional prototype stage. The proposed packaging format must enable a high-performance "cook-in-pack" solution for our consumers. This technology will facilitate steam-cooking directly within the bag, pouch, or enclosed material, preserving the nutritional integrity of the food. The material must offer high transparency, allowing consumers to see the product, allowing us to showcase our vibrant, high-quality ingredients, emphasizing the premium nature and freshness of the Nomad Foods portfolio. |
| | Seeking Next-Generation Equipment and Processing Technologies for Tempura Batter-Coated Fish Products |
|
Nomad Foods is seeking innovative equipment, processing technologies, or integrated solutions that enable the development of next-generation tempura batter-coated fish products. By “conventional” battering and coating systems, we mean standard waterfall/curtain batter application combined with static frying or baking, which limits coating uniformity, consistency, and yield at scale. We are looking for solutions that demonstrably improve on this baseline by delivering: a more even and well-adhered batter coating across irregular fish portions, reduced batter loss/waste during application, and greater batch-to-batch consistency of coating weight and texture. We expect proposals exclusively from commercial technology providers — equipment manufacturers, engineering firms, technology start-ups, and system integrators with deployable or near-deployable solutions. Academic institutions or research groups without a commercial product, prototype, or industrial partner are not the focus of this call. By “improve robustness” we mean equipment and processes that maintain consistent coating performance despite normal variability in raw material (fish portion size and shape), batter viscosity, and line speed, with minimal downtime or operator intervention. By “flexibility for integration” we mean compatibility with our existing battering/coating and freezing lines: solutions that can be retrofitted or integrated without requiring a full line replacement, and that can accommodate multiple product formats (fillets, portions, nuggets) on the same equipment. |
 | Nanoconjugates formed by dendritic molecules and peptides as antitumor agents against advanced prostate cancer. |
|
The Research Group in "Dendrimers for Biomedical Applications" of the University of Alcalá presents a new invention that refers to the formation of nanoconjugates with antitumor activity, mainly against advanced prostate cancer. Nanoconjugates are composed of dendritic systems (dendrimers and dendrons) and neuropeptides. The dendritic molecules are mainly of carbosilane structure and with ammonium functions in the periphery. And the peptides are preferably of the glucagon / secretin family (VIP, GHRH, PACAP…etc.) The research group seeks companies from the Biomedicine, Pharmaceutical and Health sector, to establish licensing agreements, cooperation agreements or commercial agreements with technical assistance. |
 | Nutraceutical Beverage From Coffee Cherry |
|
Coffee cherry, commonly discarded during coffee bean production, is repurposed in this innovation into a high-value nutraceutical through a clinically validated, sustainable extraction process. Rich in antioxidants and natural bioactive compounds, the product supports cardiovascular function, raises HDL (good) cholesterol, lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides, enhances metabolic performance, and improves blood circulation. The process is designed with minimal environmental impact generating low emissions and aligning with zero-waste, circular economy models. Backed by clinical testing for both safety and efficacy, the technology offers a scientifically grounded, health-driven alternative to synthetic supplements. After decades of research and clinical testing, this novel and functional beverage has been granted approval by FDA, and recognized by WIPO in early 2025. The inventors seek licensing partnerships with food, beverage, and nutraceutical manufacturers, and also welcome collaboration with academic institutions for further research into coffee cherry compounds. |
 | Combating colorectal cancer recurrence - an innovative predictive approach using miRNAs |
|
- Enables prediction of colorectal cancer recurrence risk, supporting proactive monitoring, treatment, and prevention for high-risk patients - Detects specific miRNA combinations with higher predictive accuracy compared to traditional markers, allowing timely intervention to reduce the likelihood of recurrence - Precise risk assessment and early intervention minimize unnecessary treatments and follow-ups, optimizing healthcare resource allocation and enhancing long-term health outcomes for patients |
