Adisseo invests in development of nanoscale portable device

Adisseo is accelerating its innovation development by leveraging venture capital together with internal research, the company said.

In relation to that push, AVF, the professional private equity investment fund which Adisseo is a cornerstone investor of, had completed its first investment in early 2019.

Inspecto Solutions Ltd., the target company of the investment, is developing a nanoscale portable device for early detection of contaminants directly "in the field," potentially offering a dedicated solution with tailored capabilities to detect a set of contaminants based on specific business requirements such as mycotoxins.

Unlike traditional methods, this device can be employed easily by farmers, producers, suppliers, buyers, retailers and quality assurers at any point in the supply chain to retrieve results in real time and will create significant value throughout the whole food production cycle.

Several other projects are in the pipeline of Adisseo's venture capital firm. These new projects will allow the company to fuel innovation in terms of new products and solutions development.
