Negotiable: all proposals will be considered. The remuneration will depend on the type of proposals, collaboration style and willingness to negotiate a win-win solution. The potential output could concern several well known food products distributed in numerous countries.
NineSigma, representing a global food company, seeks proposals for effective sweetness enhancing solutions from natural sources, methods of identifying these substances as well as manufacturing options.
The target is to obtain a sugar reduction of 20-30%.
Cost, proprietary or exclusivity will be determinant factors for establishing durable partnerships.
Only natural solutions from natural sources, according different legislations, will be considered.
For all types of solutions:
○ The experience and the innovative content of the submitters will be taken into account as selective criteria.
○ Because this type of project is complex and involves wide capabilities, even partial solutions will be examined.
○ Providers who have serious leads in this matter but could not explore further due to lack of time or resources are of particular interest.
○ Solutions will either become the property of the client or get right of exclusivity (geographic regions may be negotiated)
