EXPLORE FOOD LIFE SCIENCE AT FOODTECH
AI has become an active player in the food industry. Consumers are placing new demands on sustainability, health, and transparency. At the same time, the boundaries between food and pharma are becoming increasingly blurred, while traditional food models are being challenged by new technologies, ingredients, and changing consumer attitudes.
Amid these developments, MCH and Innovation Lab invite you to Food Life Science – an inspiring universe at FoodTech where the future of food is brought to life through hands-on exhibitions, talks, and dialogue.
The area is designed as a combination of stage, exhibition space, and informal meeting place. Around the coffee bar, serving Nunc coffee, you can take part in CoffeeTalks, experience live demonstrations, and engage in conversations about the future of food with experts, startups, and industry professionals.

Nunc Coffee –AI that improves every cup of coffee
When the coffee machine learns from every brew
Nunc Coffee combines barista craftsmanship with artificial intelligence in an espresso system that continuously adjusts grind size, dosage, pressure and temperature using sensors. The system works to improve the brewing process, aiming to make each cup better than the last. Its Smart Hopper feature automatically identifies the coffee beans and adapts the brewing process accordingly. Discover how AI can create new opportunities for intelligent, data-driven product improvement.
Solein by Solar Foods – Protein grown from air
Protein produced from CO₂, water and electricity
How can protein be produced without traditional agriculture? Solar Foods has developed Solein, an alternative protein ingredient produced using microorganisms in bioreactors supplied with CO₂, water and electricity. The ingredient contains 80% protein and represents a new approach to food production, in which protein can be produced independently of traditional agricultural conditions. Discover the technology exploring new possibilities for future food production and alternative protein sources.
Siemens – AI and digital twins in food production
Virtually test the factories of the future
How can AI and digital twins optimise food production before changes are implemented physically? Siemens presents Industrial AI Digital Twin with Digital Twin Composer, combining real-time manufacturing data with photorealistic 3D simulations. This enables production plant modifications and material flows to be tested virtually before being implemented in practice. The technology offers insight into how digital twins can support product development, planning and production optimisation.
Algiecel – turning CO₂ into valuable ingredients
Turning CO₂ emissions into valuable ingredients
Algiecel demonstrates how industrial CO₂ emissions can become a resource. Using mobile, container-based photobioreactors, the company harnesses microalgae to convert CO₂ into valuable ingredients such as omega-3 oils and protein-rich biomass. The technology combines carbon capture with bioproduction, opening up new possibilities for producing ingredients for food, feed and cosmetics.
Nourish3d – Personalised nutrition through 3D printing
Personalised supplements through 3D printing
Nourish3d uses patented 3D-printing technology to produce personalised vitamin and nutrient gummies. Based on an AI-driven assessment, the products are tailored to individual lifestyles and nutritional profiles. The technology enables multiple nutrients to be combined in a personalised product and illustrates the potential of personalised nutrition and flexible production of food supplements.
Nutrisense / Nora AI – AI as your personal nutrition advisor
Personalised nutrition guidance powered by generative AI
Nora AI by Nutrisense is an AI-powered dietitian assistant that analyses glucose data, meal logs, sleep and stress to identify patterns in a user's metabolic health. The solution brings together data between consultations, giving human dietitians a stronger basis for follow-up guidance. The technology demonstrates how generative AI and personal health data can be integrated into digital solutions for nutrition and healthcare.
Meatly –cultivated meat for the feed of the future
Cultivated meat – new possibilities for pet food
British biotechnology company Meatly works with cultivated meat produced from animal cells. The company is behind Chicken Bites, a pet food product based on cultivated chicken meat grown from cells originating from a single chicken egg. The technology represents an alternative approach to meat and protein production, demonstrating how cellular agriculture could open up new possibilities in pet food, food production and other biotechnological applications.
Plantiemoji – intelligent plant health monitoring
Detect plant stress before it becomes visible
Plantiemoji presents AI-driven sensor technology that monitors the biological condition of plants in real time. By analysing plant sap and electrical signals, the technology can detect changes in plant stress and metabolic activity before symptoms become visible to the naked eye. The solution demonstrates the potential of intelligent plant monitoring for applications such as indoor cultivation, vertical farming and crop optimisation.
