Latvia's leading dairy processing companies AS Valmieras piens and AS Smiltenes piens are looking for partners who can offer solutions to two major challenges:
Processing of sour milk juice - each year, companies produce more than 20 000 tonnes of rennet, a liquid, chemically aggressive by-product with a complex composition, high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and low pH. This resource is currently under-utilised despite its potential for high value-added products.
Flotation sludge management - flotation sludge from wastewater treatment contains significant amounts of organic matter, nitrogen, phosphorus and trace elements. However, their use is currently severely limited due to technological, economic and regulatory barriers.
The Accelerator aims to develop solutions that turn these challenges into new resources or products with market potential. To help do this, the programme offers:
- work on a real industry challenge
- develop your idea with business representatives;
- get financial support to develop your idea;
- receive expert training and mentoring.
Teams, companies or individuals with relevant knowledge and ideas are welcome to apply.
