Food Analytics: The Power of AI and Behavioral Science in Food Innovation

Food Analytics is carving out a unique niche by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and behavioral science into the world of food innovations. This platform offers a fresh perspective by analyzing food products through machine learning and combining insights from several academic disciplines.

“We leverage machine learning and advanced analytics to generate a comprehensive evaluation of food assets,” said Richard Delerins, the founder and CEO of Food Analytics. Their data-driven approach helps food companies and investors make informed decisions that drive growth and innovation.

A Team That’s Passionate About Food and Innovation

Behind every successful startup is a team that not only believes in the mission but also lives it. At Food Analytics, this couldn’t be more accurate. “Everybody in our team comes with a unique set of business acumen & industry knowledge, but more importantly, our team is intensely passionate about food industry,” Delerins emphasized.

This passion fuels their ability to blend AI and behavioral science in food innovation into a cohesive solution that caters to a range of clients in the Food & Beverage sector.

Unique Solutions for the Food & Beverage Industry

Food Analytics offers a service that is truly one-of-a-kind. They don’t just assess food products; they forecast future performance based on multiple dimensions, such as profitability and scalability.

“Our algorithms may also be used to forecast future performance, such as revenue growth,” explained Delerins. This is a game-changer for both food companies and investors, providing a deeper understanding of a product’s potential beyond basic market research.

Their proprietary software and unique combination of academic insights make them stand out in the competitive food tech landscape.

A Vision for the Future: Making Data More Accessible

Though already a success, Food Analytics continues to innovate. One of their major goals is to make their platform more accessible through a SaaS model. Currently, their solutions are customized for each client, but soon, food companies and investors will be able to access these insights through a software platform. “We are working on making our capabilities even more accessible through this development,” said Delerins. This move will further solidify their position as a leader in food tech innovation.

What’s Next for FoodAnalytics and Behavioral Science in Food Innovation?

Participating in international events like SIAL Startup is just the beginning for Food Analytics. The company is keen on meeting forward thinkers in the food industry to expand its network and continue its growth. “We expect to meet forward thinkers & innovators in the Food & Beverage industry who can become our future collaborators,” Delerins mentioned.
