Our partnership with Xinova is providing the necessary elements to position us for ongoing success on a global scale.
— Dan Belliveau, CF Global Holdings Founder and CEO
As a leading food and beverage brand innovator, PepsiCo centers its strategy and operations on the theme of Performance with Purpose – aligning what is good for their business with what is good for society and the planet. In applying this approach to the improvement of all products and processes, PepsiCo has entered into a collaborative relationship with Xinova, a global leader in providing solution-focused, efficient innovation.
Working together in a multi-year agreement, the two companies will seek to source and develop innovations that will add value over a wide range of PepsiCo’s processes and product offerings. As a co-invested partner, Xinova will provide invention sourcing, patenting, and technology incubation services.
To support the specific goal of sourcing more than 200 innovative solutions, Xinova is publishing a series of Request-For-Invention (RFI) documents, each of which describes a specific challenge to be addressed on behalf of PepsiCo. These RFIs span wide-ranging areas of concern to PepsiCo – such as food and beverage processing technologies, packaging, sensors, supply chain, and sustainability.
It takes a long-term commitment and a vast network of expertise to turn an idea into a product, and find its best international markets. The Xinova global innovation network aligned key players in the food process supply chain, including distributors and grower-producer companies around the globe. Business development talent was recruited, and concept development facilities were accessed. The Coffee Cherry Company will provide fresh culinary possibilities to kitchens worldwide while benefiting the environment and adding income and jobs for small coffee farmers and their local economies.
