A collaboration between 2 players in Hauts-de-France invested in innovation issues
A major world player in fermentation for over a century, a flagship group of the Hauts-de-France economy , Lesaffre , 2.2 billion euros in turnover, located on all continents, signs a partnership With the Plaine Images . With this experience and this diversity, the group collaborates with customers, partners and researchers, to find ever more relevant answers to the needs of nutrition, health, naturalness and respect for our environment. Thus, every day, Lesaffre explores and reveals the infinite potential of yeast and microorganisms.
Nourishing 9 billion inhabitants in 2050, using the planet's resources as accurately, is a major and unprecedented issue.
The partnership also aims to provide Lesaffre teams with innovative methodologies inspired by the practices in force in the world of start-ups: Lean Start-up, Design Thinking, etc.
