Luce IT leads IntelActivAI project to revolutionise food packaging with CDTI support
We are celebrating at Luce Innovative Technologies! The final resolution of the Science and Innovation Missions 2024 Programme of the Centre for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI) has been published, and we are proud to announce that we have been selected to lead the innovative IntelActivAI project.
This grant, which is part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and is financed by Next Generation EU funds, is a recognition of the transformative potential of our proposal and a fundamental boost for the food industry in our country.
IntelActivAI: Smart packaging for a safer and more sustainable future
The IntelActivAI project (Innovation in Active and Intelligent Food Packaging for a Safe and Sustainable Food Industry) is aligned with the programme’s Mission No. 8, which focuses on “sustainability and efficiency in processing and packaging for a safe and quality food industry”.
The overall objective we are pursuing with IntelActivAI is ambitious and responds to today’s major challenges: industrial research and development of a new generation of food packaging to extend the shelf life of food, without affecting the recyclability of the materials, while monitoring the state of the product to facilitate decision making during processing, avoiding food losses and ensuring food safety.
To achieve this, Luce IT is leading a high-tech consortium, with the support of AirInstitute, consisting of:
- Darwin Bioprospecting Excellence
- Oscillum
- Encapsulae
In addition, we have the collaboration of prestigious scientific institutions such as the CSIC, the University of Valencia (UV) and the University of Salamanca (USAL), which will contribute their expert knowledge to ensure the success of the project.
Luce IT’s role as project leader is to develop the brain of the solution: a technological platform for advanced data analysis, obtained from biochemical signals from packaging, using Artificial Intelligence tools. This will enable early monitoring and risk identification, optimising the entire food value chain.
Direct benefits for Valladolid and Castilla y León
The implementation of the IntelActivAI project, led from our headquarters in Valladolid, will generate a very positive and tangible impact in our community and in Castilla y León:
- Generation of High Quality Employment: The project envisages the recruitment of qualified personnel in areas such as biotechnology, chemistry, nanotechnology and artificial intelligence, fostering local talent.
- Strengthening the Business and Scientific Fabric: The collaboration between Luce IT and leading research centres will boost the region’s R&D&I capacity, positioning it at the forefront of food technology.
- Boosting Industrial Competitiveness: IntelActivAI will contribute to the digital transformation of the regional food industry, enabling companies to improve their efficiency, reduce costs and increase their competitiveness.
- Reducing Food Waste: Smart packaging will help to significantly reduce food waste, a problem of high economic and environmental impact, promoting greater sustainability in the industry of Castilla y León.
- Attraction of Private Investment: The validation of these technologies will attract investment for their industrialisation and commercialisation, generating a positive economic return in the region.
We are convinced that IntelActivAI is not only a commitment to innovation, but also a strategic initiative that will have a lasting impact on the sustainability, safety and competitiveness of the food industry, benefiting the economy and the environment of Castilla y León.
This project has been subsidised by the CDTI, with the support of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, in the framework of the “Science and Innovation Missions Programme” within the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.
Funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
