13 Setembro 2023 - 5:05PM
Mondelēz International, Inc. (Nasdaq: MDLZ) today announced the 9
companies chosen to participate in CoLab Tech, an accelerator
program led by the company’s research and development team to
collaborate with start-ups in addressing technology-driven food
production and sustainability challenges.
CoLab Tech sought early-stage businesses with disruptive
solutions that can help accelerate growth and innovation in
chocolate, biscuit and baked snacks, while enhancing the global
snacking leader’s technological priorities, including reducing
carbon footprints, enhancing sensory experiences, improving
nutrition profiles and modernizing production processes.
The program, selected entrepreneurs in North America and Europe,
received applications from all over the world.
“One of the most exciting parts of this process was learning
about the creative and clever solutions being developed across the
globe to solve the food industry’s most pressing ingredient,
process and sustainability challenges,” said Ian Noble, Vice
President for Global Ingredient Research & Development at
Mondelēz International. “We are eager to start learning from and
collaborating with these cutting-edge entrepreneurs who will
introduce us to new capabilities and also learn from our
expertise.”
The nine companies are:
- Captic: The Belgium-based start-up
delivers secure and reliable AI-vision solutions that can integrate
into a company’s current production processes to provide actionable
insights to optimize production efficiency.
- Computomics: The UK-based company’s
platform uses machine learning and metagenomics analysis to monitor
different types of pathogens in real time, from the early soil

sustainable dairy-free, creamy fat ingredient that can substitute

develop customized ingredient functionality solutions.
- Epogee: The U.S.-based ingredient
business produces a modified plant-based oil that cuts up to 92

traditional fats and oils, while maintaining mouthfeel, satiety and

produces carbon negative, farm-free proteins using a proprietary
continuous CO2 fermentation technology that offsets 1.8kg of
captured CO2 for every 1kg of single cell protein.
- SoilTech Wireless: The U.S.-based
company develops wireless sensing technology and data analytics
platforms to help drive optimization, sustainability and
traceability throughout the global agriculture supply chain.
