Tate & Lyle bid to make ideas easy
Food and beverage ingredients firm Tate & Lyle has launched a new web portal to make it easier for potential partners to submit ideas.
The new portal, at www.tateandlyleopeninnovation.com, is designed to encourage universities, start-ups and companies specialising in food science to submit proposals aligned with Tate & Lyle’s innovation priorities of sweeteners, texturants and health and wellness.
“We value our partnerships enormously but also understand that approaching large corporations with a new innovation can be daunting,” says John Stewart, open innovation manager at Tate & Lyle. “This is why Tate & Lyle has a small, dedicated team to help with the process. Our new website enables potential partners to submit ideas quickly and easily, and for innovators to work with us to create long-term ‘win-win’ relationships.”
