• Kraft Heinz: Aluminum foil alternatives for sustainable food packaging

Kraft Heinz is seeking aluminum foil alternative materials that deliver against structural requirements (ex. dead fold and stiffness at higher temperatures) for use with dairy-based food products. 

• BASF: Towards a greener future: Micro-algae production of base chemicals

BASF is looking for new approaches existing in academia and start-ups for boosting efficiencies in micro-algae production and processing towards bio-naphtha or other base chemicals. The main levers they currently see for improvement of economics in the area are genetically modified microalgae, combination of microalgae farming with wastewater streams or flue gas addition; however, they are open to additional creative solutions too. 

• Private Company: Longer lasting subtle hair colors

This private company is seeking new approaches to create hair colorants for pastel colors that have at least 4 weeks of lastingness (no matter the hair porosity). 

• Bayer Pharma: Ventricular heart tissue samples and linked clinical data

Bayer Pharma is looking for ventricular heart tissue samples and linked clinical data from patients with end-stage heart failure.

• Bayer Crop Science: Automated solutions for open-field plot grid creation (Hi-Res UAV imagery)

Bayer Crop Science is looking for an innovative and efficient automated workflow or technology that can rapidly generate a geospatially accurate grid for the entire field with minimal manual labor. The proposed solution should eliminate the need for manual GPS measurements and ensure the creation of a precise and complete as-planted grid, integrating seamlessly with the existing UAV image processing workflow.
