Personalised Nutrition Community; Put the consumer in control

This community is here to support a mix of cross-sectoral organisations working on personalised nutrition solutions. Together, we aim to boost business in personalised nutrition. To be able to do that, we need to understand the challenges that are too complicated to tackle on your own. From the community we collect information about target markets, turnover, focus areas and target groups. But also what the current ecosystem challenges are.

We believe by using personalised nutrition, we can put consumers in control of their own health. They can adopt a healthier diet tailored to their needs by using a mainstream wearable. This device automatically and continuously measures vitality, food intake and nutritional status based on which personalised, relevant and motivating nutritional advice is given. But to bring personalised nutrition to the masses, companies need to create solutions that are desirable for the mass consumer, profitable for the companies, feasible to deliver and with a positive impact on society.

To be able to pave the way for personalised nutrition solutions we have determined three priorites:

Encourage and support successful business models bringing personalised nutrition to the masses
Create dynamics to boost innovations in science and big data for personalised nutrition
Build a connected, supportive and knowledgeable personalised nutrition ecosystem

The personalised nutrition ecosystem is complex, fragmented and not fully engaged and connect yet. For a truly full chain Personalised nutrition proposition, covering the entire customer journey, many complex steps have to be taken which cannot be done by a single player. That is why we need everyone involved to join the community. Let’s shape the future of food together!
