We’re thrilled to announce that Nestlé has officially kicked off a proof-of-concept collaboration with Ajinomatrix.
While the exact project details remain confidential, this engagement represents a powerful validation of our sensory intelligence technology and its relevance to innovation in global food & beverage giants.
This is not just a test—it’s a trusted handshake from one of the most respected names in food science. Nestlé's internal sensory and consumer science teams chose Ajinomatrix to explore a bold new concept in product development using AI-powered modeling, market-specific insight mining, and consumer-driven ingredient innovation.
