Innovia Technology’s mission is to help our clients outperform their competitors and change the world for good through breakthrough innovation. Food and drink touches everyone in the world, so the challenges and developments in the food and beverage industry affect all of us – and there are plenty of both at the moment. The industry is grappling with supply constraints, sustainability challenges, and changing views on processing, but is also delivering new products and using new tools to make them. It’s a good time to be innovating in food!
As the heat increases, how are consumers responding?
Read and download the insight in full, along with our take on what’s making waves and why...
Dr Alex Hellawell takes Alex Massey on a whistle-stop tour of the hot topics in Food & Beverage innovation. They discuss why working in food innovation is endlessly fascinating, what we need to do to feed everyone in the world the right amount in a way that is sustainable, and the role ingredient security plays in developing great products that people love.
What would happen if the major ingredient in your best-selling food product was unavailable, or doubled in cost? We discuss the importance of resilience - and what it looks like in action.
Manufacturers are under pressure to deliver texture and taste without using traditional animal-based sources. Precision fermentation has exciting solutions for this complex challenge.
Ultra processed food is one of the hottest topics in the sector. Learn more about why there’s so much controversy, so little by way of consensus, and the opportunities available.
Sustainable packaging is particularly challenging for manufacturers. This deep dive considers how we can help consumers to make greener choices.
Wondering if you should use digital twins and modelling? Here’s how to start thinking about whether they’re a suitable technology for your food and beverage applications.
Done right, plant-based food can be a win for population health, individual consumers, companies, and the planet. We discuss why it’s hard, and the best routes when going plant-based.
Innovia is renowned for our love of food. In this roundtable discussion, the team reflect upon their culinary experiences to date, and share learnings from challenges they’ve particularly enjoyed working on.
