• Project Size : Strategic project backed by large scale funding €

PepsiCo is committed to reducing GHG emissions from seed to shelf. We are looking to engage with partners who can assist us in our goal of reducing GHG 20% by 2030 and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. As new technologies emerge, efficiencies will be gained and PepsiCo aims to remain at the forefront of best practices in the food and beverage industry. PepsiCo is seeking technologies to reduce GHGs in all aspects of the supply chain and manufacturing process. Solutions may be in one or more of the following areas: • Agriculture – sustainable farming and the reduction of GHG intensive fertilizers • Manufacturing – adopting energy efficient manufacturing processes; novel methods for utilizing waste; use of renewable thermal energy at scale • Packaging – alternative packaging materials and formats that reduce GHGs • Distribution – technologies to assist in the efficiency of our company-owned and third party fleet

Seeking safe and effective outdoor mosquito solutions to help consumers enjoy their yard and outdoor spaces without the annoyance and inconvenience of mosquito bites. Mosquitos are a common nuisance and disease spreading insect. In addition to being vectors of disease, one of the main reasons we want to tackle this pest is to allow people to enjoy outdoor activities more frequently – e.g., eating outside, spending time with family, and watching outdoor sporting events. Here in P&G Ventures, we are looking for existing, in market solutions which exist globally that are specifically designed to kill or repel mosquitos.

Researchers from Universitat de València in collaboration with Università della Calabria have developed a new patented technology related to water recycling and Metal-Organic Frameworks. The patent application consists of new materials that eliminate inorganic and organic pollutants in a single step. In this way, these materials avoid the multi-step sequential protocols that are currently applied in water recycling plants. The materials of this invention are based on Multivariate Metal-Organic Frameworks (MTV-MOFs). They have a wide range of applications in water recycling plants such as pharmaceutical, textile, food, plastic, mining... etc, as well as for agricultural and domestic use.

NanoMEDIC gene editing delivery system

Background Gene therapy holds great potential for the treatment of genetic diseases. However, delivery to specific tissues is still a major bottleneck. Although AAV-delivered CRISPR-Cas9 editing is being developed for multiple diseases, its therapeutic translation is hindered by the limited packaging capacity of viral particles and possible immune response to them. Moreover, AAV transgenes tend to be expressed for an extended period of time, which increases off-target mutagenesis risk. Extracellular vesicles (EV) is another option and, when combined with ribonucleoprotein (RNP) delivery of CRISPR-Cas9, reduces off-target effects. The structural polyprotein Gag is typically used to package cargo into EVs, which nevertheless limits the EV packaging capacity. The present invention is an all-in-one EV delivery system termed NanoMEDIC (nanomembrane-derived extracellular vesicles for the delivery of macromolecular cargo). It is a transient EV-based CRISPR-Cas9 editing delivery system which ensures efficient genome editing in various cell types.
