General information
- Short Summary
- This innovative German SME is looking for business partners who are willing to test their new and patented smart labels to identify a dynamic best-before date on their perishable and refrigerated food products to prevent food waste.
- Full Description
-
A German SME is looking for potential business partners in the food sector, who are willing to test their state of the art and smart lables on their perishable food products, which show the dynamic best-before date to prevent food waste.
They produce patented, dynamic smart labels for refrigerated and perishable products in the food and non-food sectors. With their product, it is possible to open a smart label window, depending on time, temperature and/or humidity. This makes it possible to show a dynmic best-before date on perishable products to prevent food waste.
With their competent and specialized development team, the inventor as a consultant and well known label producers, they possess competent and valuable partners to assist them in their business. Furthermore, they cooperate with the German institute for standardization DIN. That means, they also have competent partners in the administrative and official sector to assist their business.
Furthermore, this German SME is prepared to build up a social media supported community in such way that the cut-throat competition can take place detached from the classic price war. They argue that the supporting element is the voluntary commitment of society to sustainability and the desire of individuals to correct their own consumption behaviour.
To this day, they are not engaged in trans-national cooperation with other business partners. This makes this offer a special opportunity to be the first, to set a foot in this specific marktet. - Advantages and Innovations

This German SME is the exclusive licensee of this specific smart label technology in question. They develop with an own reseach & development team. For now, their technology is still unknown in the market.
The self writing effect of the smart labels depends on ambient conditions, such as temperature, humidity and time, which makes the product a specific sensor. With this smart label patent product, they want to prevent food waste.

The product encourages consumers to switch brands and make target purchases. Furthermore, it helps to guide the customer to food saving and packaging waste avoidance. - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
