 | 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 injectable, highly flexible sealing system for personal care devices |

 | Elimination of blade tip vortices of aircraft propellers |
|
TECHNOLOGY/PRODUCT OVERVIEW Blade tip vortex is a powerful phenomenon that develops very quickly. However, ‘widening’ the blade tips increases the possibility of greater power and performance, at the same time, the vortex losses generated at the blade tips increase drastically. The solution currently used to reduce the vortices of the blade tips is reducing the angle of attack close to the blade tip. This is how it tries to avoid significant losses. At the same time, naturally, the drag force or the transmittable power decreases. Eliminating or reducing blade tip losses (eliminating vortices around the blade tip) means significant fuel savings and increased lifespan, efficiency, and performance especially when using wide blade tips. The elimination of blade tip loss reduces vibrations, thus reducing internal friction of the structure’s material, thereby increasing lifespan. This results in significant financial savings, e.g. in the case of a modern blade. Due to centrifugal force, the “winglet” used on wings moving in a linear direction cannot be used in the case of a rotating system. |
 | Liquid biopsy for early detection of cancer or precision medicine |
|
Scientists at EMBL-EBI, CNIC and CSIC have discovered a new type of telomere fusion that is not present in blood from healthy donors but can be detected well in the blood of cancer patients. They developed computational tools for the reliable identification of these fusions. Additionally, predictive models have been established that allow for the detection of the presence of a tumour using sequencing data from a blood sample. We hereby present an approach for a highly specific, minimally invasive and early detection of cancer. The sensitivity and false positive rate are comparable to recent liquid biopsy analysis methods. The performance of the tools is comparable across cancer stages. The tool has been validated using close to 10,000 whole genome sequencing datasets. |
 | Peptide for Titanium and Biomaterial Surface Coating for Enhanced Osseointegration |
|
Our research involves the modification of a recently patented molecule that contains L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) and other bonding peptides to increase osseointegration on metal surfaces, particularly titanium. Lab results show that when coated with this molecule, titanium surfaces showed increased signs of bio-compatibility, which is backed up by published scientific research. The technology has the potential of improving osteosynthesis and orthopedic implants, as well as many other types of surgical implants. The BBZ is looking for licensing, joint R&D, or ownership opportunities regarding this technology. |
