Food ingredients
2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,800
are a major strategic challenge
for Avril today, and the Startup Day
3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,000
helps us meet the ambitions
of our strategic plan, Ambition
4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
2030.
5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,720
Enriching our offer
with innovative
6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,720
and differentiating solutions that meet
the future needs of our clients.
7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,520
Today, we have selected
startups that have the ability to be
8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,360
the catalysts of our strategy.
9
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:24,920
Avril's food ingredients,
10
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:29,120
derived from plant-based oils and proteins,
have enormous application potential.
11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,120
They perfectly align
with the group's mission
12
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,840
to contribute to agricultural,
food and environmental transitions.
13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,720
Today, we are looking for
the next generation of ingredients
14
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,720
that are even more efficient, with even more
taste, naturalness and sustainability.
15
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,080
These dimensions are becoming essential
for the market because they meet
16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,920
the aspirations of consumers
and therefore the future needs of clients.
17
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,960
The goals of Startup Day
18
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,960
are to identify synergies
between startups,
19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,120
the technologies they have come
to bring us, and Avril
20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,200
and our roadmap
for the Ingredients strategy.
21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Obviously, the goal is also
to build connections with startups.
22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,080
Because we truly believe
that building a good collaboration,
23
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,600
a good partnership, requires
teams that communicate well.
24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,360
And that's something we want
to work on with the startups
25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,360
during this event.
26
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,880
I think the most
27
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:30,200
important stage for our food tech now
28
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:35,520
is to collaborate with
big corporates and producers
29
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:40,120
because this is how we can scale the young
cellular-stage startups.
30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,480
Our need is to scale up,
to commercialize our product.
31
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,640
And I think this collaboration
is kind of a win-win situation
32
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,960
where we can bring the innovation
and put it on the table
33
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,360
and on the other hand, they (Avril)
can provide the scalability
34
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,360
and the industrialization.
35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,480
I think that we have an operational fit
and those are strategic fits
36
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,480
to the way
everyone is conducting their business.
37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,280
And we feel that
we can contribute to the type of B2B
38
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,280
ingredient, healthy type of ingredient.
39
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,480
What convinced me
to take part in this day
40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,600
was having access
41
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,480
to all of the company's experts
who are here today,
42
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:31,000
talking to technical people from Oléon,
from Lesieur.
43
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,160
It's a concentration of expertise
that you normally don't get.
44
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,680
We've had a lot of open discussions
45
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:51,320
with people with knowledge
from different areas,
46
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,240
and different parts of Avril.
47
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,960
So it's been really valuable.
48
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,920
I'm so happy to be here today.
49
00:02:58,920 --> 00:03:02,280
I think this is a very fantastic event
and thank you so much.
50
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,920
I hope you learned some things from us,
51
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:11,920
but we certainly learned a lot from you.
52
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,120
Thanks all. And then have a nice evening.
