General information

Short Summary
A research company in food processing with sound and recognized expertise in byproducts downstream process and in different raw materials (fish, seaweeds, microalgae, insects, fruits) would like to join a consortium in one of two “Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking” calls for projects.
Full Description
A research company in food processing with sound and recognized expertise in byproducts downstream process has a large experience in different raw materials (fish, seaweeds, microalgae, insects, fruits).

It is involved in several industrial projects to develop new ingredients for nutraceuticals, food, feed or fertilizers, most of these projects aiming at commissioning new industrial units.
The company could offer experience and assistance for the development of a new process for byproducts processing, including:
🔹Evaluation of the raw material (volumes and composition) and potential applications, market approach
🔹Lab tests to validate process, evaluate composition of final products and estimate yields
🔹Technical and economical approach: Study of the equipment required for large production, evaluation of costs of investment (CAPEX) and production (OPEX), evaluation of the ROI (return on investment)
🔹Organisation of pilot production to obtain samples and test market
🔹Industrial study: defining the specifications for supplier tenders, taking into account the regulations relating to the hygiene, production and marketing of the ingredients developed, study of the offers of suppliers; Making the implementation plans of the process line.

The company would like to join a consortium for the following Horizon Europe calls for projects:
🔹HORIZON-JU-CBE-2024-IA-02 “Sustainable micro-algae as feedstock for innovative, added-value applications”
🔹HORIZON-JU-CBE-2024-RIA-05 “Innovative bio-based food/feed ingredients”
Advantages and Innovations
The company has already carried out more than 100 studies in these fields of biomass extraction process development and has enabled the construction of several industrial units in France and abroad for marine byproducts, insect biomass, microalgae byproducts processing.

In 2022-2023, the company has leaded a study for UNIDO on Promoting resource-efficient and circular production practices in Morocco’s fish processing value chain.
