 | 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. |
 | Seeking Oral Care Solutions with Seal and Protect Benefit |
|
Products, technologies or ingredients that (a) provide a layer, barrier or coating which will inhibit the formation of plaque or biofilm on tooth surfaces and/or (b) provide a coating to protect the teeth from stain and erosive acids or deliver effective amounts of oral care ingredient for an extended period of time. |
 | Water-Rich Deep Eutectic Solvent Formulation Platform for Delivering Poorly Soluble Bioactives |
|
A new formulation platform enables the incorporation of deep eutectic solvents (DES) into water-rich matrices while preserving their exceptional ability to solubilize poorly soluble bioactive molecules. The technology addresses key limitations of conventional DES use, including high viscosity, cost and loss of solvent performance upon dilution with water. The platform can be obtained using simple mixing processes and does not require polymer-based encapsulation. In a proof-of-concept formulation containing more than 60% water, the solubility of quercetin was increased by over 2000-fold compared with its solubility in water. The technology is suitable for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, functional ingredient and agrochemical applications. Available for licensing, with possible accompanying know-how transfer and application-specific development support (in collaboration with Campus Bio-Medico University, Rome, Italy). |
 | Clean technology for the efficient recovery of cathodes in lithium batteries |
|
This patent presents an innovative technology to regenerate spent lithium-ion battery cathodes using an electrochemical process with redox mediators. It allows the recovery of cathodes made of lithium iron phosphate (LFP), reducing the need for new materials and minimizing environmental impact. The solution is more sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective, ideal for electric vehicle batteries and high-performance devices, promoting recycling and the circular economy. |
 | Distributed interference cancelation based on outdated channel gain information |
|
New method aimed to enhance the overall throughput of communication systems by utilizing delayed channel gain information for distributed interference compression and removal. The technology targets a dynamic environment in which the transmitters, the receivers or even the scattering environment are not static and is useful for a communication scenario with several distributed transmitters and receivers sharing a common medium, in which interference removal is crucial to enhance system throughput and to enable simultaneous transmission of information from several transmitters to several receivers, using the same resources. |
