Nestlé Inaugurates New Research And Development Centre In Chile
Food giant Nestlé has inaugurated a new research and development centre in Santiago, Chile, as it seeks to focus on consumers in Latin America.
The company hopes to develop nutritious, affordable, and sustainable products that are relevant to local consumers and strengthen collaborations with universities, start-ups and entrepreneurs across Latin America.
The centre will see approximately 30 research and development employees working across several product categories, with a strong focus on strategic areas, such as plant-based foods, solutions for affordable nutrition, nutritious and sustainable dairy products, quality chocolate products and biscuits and coffee innovations.
The research and development centre includes a co-working space, a kitchen for rapid prototyping and bench-scale laboratories.
It will host a new regional Nestlé R+D Accelerator, where the company’s so-called ‘intrapreneurs’ in Latin America can develop new product concepts and test them in a retail environment in six months, the food giant noted.
The R+D Accelerator will also strengthen the collaboration with Latin American entrepreneurs and student teams, providing access to the company’s global and local R&D expertise and infrastructure.
