For Investors

 

Advancing your portfolio with food protection technologies

The ETA is a “greenhouse” for emerging food protection technologies and has an inside track on groundbreaking innovations with the potential to become lucrative new products.

The prevalence of food-borne illness is evidence of the substantial unmet need for robust and efficient food protection technologies. In particular, the industry requires tools that can streamline food monitoring by improving sample collection, sample preparation and by making detection more cost and time effective.
