New packaging regulations: an opportunity for startups ? 📦 Sesamers attended ALL4PACK Emballage Paris, where our Head of FoodTech Sandra Lafargue scouted the latest innovative solutions for the F&B industry. We joined an engaging panel to explore the future of sustainable packaging : “Innovation, circularity, and responsibility: toward the right packaging.” ♻️ As regulations push companies to prioritize sustainability, innovation becomes essential. The challenge? Creating eco-friendly packaging that’s still appealing to consumers. To tackle these issues, some big companies are collaborating with startups to find fresh solutions. The insights from Olivier Pellegrini from Amazon and Olivier LAROSE from Coca-Cola: 🎯 Through the Amazon Sustainability Accelerator, they’re partnering with startups to drive sustainable packaging initiatives. 🎯 Via CCEP Ventures, they’re investing in groundbreaking startups to find the next big idea. These new changes create opportunities for startups to drive innovation in the packaging industry. #ALL4PACK #SustainablePackaging #Innovation #Startups #CircularEconomy

For the second year in a row, Vulkano⚡was present at Asociación Nacional de CEEIs (ANCES) OPEN INNOVATION awards ceremony 🎉 On this instance, we did not participate in any company’s challenge, but we were part of the open innovation round table -startup's perspective- with Ayim Manuel de la Fuente 💡 During the discussion, we highlighted the importance of programs like ANCES OPEN INNOVATION, which act as a bridge for many tech startups with disruptive products to solve challenges and problems faced by large corporations. We also talked about the importance of corporates having team members who advocate for innovation and understand the specific needs of startups, enabling fruitful and long-term collaboration.🤝 Notable examples are Ormazabal, with Koldo Atxutegi, or CAPSA FOOD with Rubén Hidalgo, demonstrating how collaboration and open innovation can create impactful opportunities and solutions in their companies. 🚀 It was a pleasure to see many familiar faces again.
