Innovation Support

Move a promising concept towards commercial reality​

Developing a successful food or nutrition innovation involves more than creating a good product. Along the way, scientific, regulatory, intellectual property, production and commercial questions often become closely interconnected.

NEAT helps clients navigate these decisions and identify what needs to happen next – whether that means finding the right expertise, building a collaboration or creating a practical route forward.

​

Connecting the pieces

Innovation projects rarely require just one type of expertise. We can help identify gaps, bring together relevant partners and coordinate activities across disciplines and organisations.

Our network spans academia, industry and the innovation ecosystem, allowing us to build project teams around the needs of a specific challenge rather than trying to provide everything in-house.

​

From intellectual property to collaboration

For innovations built around new technology, formulations or scientific findings, intellectual property and commercial strategy may need to be considered early.

We can support discussions around IP and licensing strategy, collaboration models and the role of different partners as a project moves towards commercialisation.

​

Your local innovation partner

For companies with R&D capabilities elsewhere, NEAT can also act as a flexible local innovation partner in Sweden – providing scientific expertise, development facilities and coordination close to the market.

This can range from a defined development project to a longer-term collaboration where NEAT becomes an extension of your existing innovation team.
