To extend and expand their research collaboration to create new and optimized production methods for high-value food ingredients, Evolva Holding SA signed an agreement with San Francisco, California-based Abunda Nutrition, Inc., on October 25.

The primary purpose of the collaboration is to invent innovative products that can help in improving health and wellness.

Expected to run for about two years, the research will primarily be conducted at Evolva’s Denmark and India sites. Over ten scientists from Evolva will be engaged on the programme. Abunda will provide the majority of the funding for the project.

‘We are very pleased that Abunda has decided to extend and expand our existing relationship,’ Neil Goldsmith, CEO and managing director of Evolva, stated.

‘We believe this collaboration speaks volumes about the quality of our science and technology, the value proposition of our next-generation nutritional ingredients and production methods, and the role that we are playing in this field to bring about a change in health and wellness,’ said Simon Waddington, president and CEO of Abunda.
