Food Tech Brainport

Gisteren bracht gedeputeerde Martijn van Gruijthuijsen van de provincie Noord-Brabant een werkbezoek aan twee van onze drie topsectoren, namelijk Food Tech en de Slimme Maakindustrie. Het programma startte bij Food Tech Brainport. Na een korte inleiding door Anke van den Heuvel lieten Bodec, Food Design Solutions, FoodWorkx en Next Tech Food Factories zien hoe zij elkaar versterken. Mooi om te zien hoe ondernemers met elkaar en met andere organisaties, zoals bijv. ook het onderwijs en Food Connection Zuid, werken aan innovaties in de voedingsmiddelenindustrie. Daarnaast speelt FTB als locatie ook een belangrijke rol in een provinciaal landschap van voedselinnovatie. Na het bezoek aan FTB gingen we door naar AAE. Op een zeer bevlogen en inspirerende manier namen Manon Pijnenburg en Frank Mulders ons mee in het verhaal van AAE en hoe ze met behulp van technologie de wereld een beetje mooier proberen te maken. Het werk is super technisch, maar in de basis gaat het om mensen en met elkaar mooie dingen maken. Mooi hoe dat tot uiting komt.

Gisteren bezocht ik samen met mijn collega Coen Food Tech Brainport Event. Tijdens dit bezoek stond de vraag centraal hoe bakkerijen kunnen omgaan met de grote uitdagingen waar zij momenteel mee te maken hebben. Hoe kun je bijvoorbeeld de schaarste aan personeel aanpakken met behulp van automatisering en digitalisering? 𝗟𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗲 𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘂𝘄𝘀𝘁𝗲 𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗻 Vaktijdschrift NBT Magazine!

Are you curious to test if Pulsed Electric Field can help you to improve the (energy) efficiency of processing your fresh food products? Can release of intracellular liquid enhance dewatering or extraction of valuable or undesired components from your food product? Are you already familiar with the positive attributes of PEF, but unable to demonstrate these at industrially relevant scale to produce test batches? Consider joining the APPPLIED project with Wageningen Food & Biobased Research, Bodec and ELEA Technology GmbH. APPPLIED will focus on demonstration activities and user cases to be defined by the project consortium. See Call for Partners attached and reach out if you have any questions or like to join in!
