Chief R&D Officer Unilever Nutrition Business Group

Our commitment to warming up the cold chain for ice cream further intensifies! As described in earlier posts, we co-create novel ice creams by increasing the temperature, whilst ensuring the same consumer experience. The first phase showed so much breakthrough potential that we continue with the majority of the university teams also for the final early prototyping phase. This phase raises the bar further and we are in great co-creation partnership with #Hokkaido #Coimbra #CAU (China Agricultural University) #Yildiz #Thessaly #Lublin #Lund #UPB (Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana in Colombia) and continued facilitation by iKNOW-WHO. Our Global and Regional Innovation Centers in Europe, Asia and Latin America support all teams in prototyping for acceleration of these much needed breakthroughs that matter for our Planet.

Thank you Carla and Unilever for your continued commitment to warming up the cold chain by engaging in one of the most open, diverse and inclusive #cocreation networks we have ever had the privilege to facilitate. We look forward to the refinement and validation of the highly promising #breakthroughs. I am quoting Unilever in saying that companies thinking that they can do it alone are not thinking big enough.

Fantastic brand, great job of many years! I immediately recognized this lovely picture at Jardim Zoológico de Lisboa (the Lisbon Zoo). No doubt, for all good reasons, a true landmark 🤩🤩
