SACLE-UP AND COMMERCIALIZATION
In this stage, our highly experienced operations team can anticipate what challenges may occur during manufacturing scale-up and present options for process improvement. At the same time, we can test similar equipment to compare which performs best and can create early-stage metrics to get information on capacities and efficiencies. We know sometimes the budget is tight, so cost reduction is an important goal at this stage.
Things to keep in mind:
- The pilot-scale runs that we perform enable larger quantities of product to be made in each production batch, mimicking commercial production.
- Scaling up trials include access to expertise in the food and bioscience fields, along with technical assistance for licensing and certifications
- Our team of experts are also available to help you design the most optimal workflow and make the best use of available space and funding.
- Clients have immediate access to a team of experts and technical and commercial validation to speed up the start-up process while minimizing the risks. This is the most efficient way to ensure successful market introduction.
We can work on brand new products, semi-developed products that need further scale-up or development, and fully developed products.
Are you looking for a place to grow your food or bioscience business? We have incubation spaces for both industries.
We offer commercial kitchens and private production spaces to meet the needs of early-stage food and bioscience companies that don’t have access to their own facilities.
Over 100 companies have chosen BioFoodTech as their pathway for entering the market, and the availability of incubation space has proven to be a crucial resource in reducing entry barriers for these enterprises.
The incubation spaces available at BioFoodTech are:
