Following a funding competition held earlier in 2024, Innovate UK and BBSRC have announced £2.5 million investment for 13 projects to drive the design and development of innovative food and beverage products.

The early-stage feasibility projects will use the funding to assess and test new ideas, determining their viability before committing to larger-scale projects.

These projects have the potential to enhance the nutritional quality of food and beverage products consumed by the UK population, ultimately supporting health and wellbeing at any point across the life course.
