The initiative forms part of a broader shift to a leaner, more agile R&D structure focused on high-impact innovation. By streamlining its project portfolio and redeploying resources, Nestl\u00e9 will unlock investment for cutting-edge platforms in nutrition and digital technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In biotechnology, Nestl\u00e9<\/a> is ramping up capabilities in areas such as precision fermentation, bio-actives, and synbiotics. This will support emerging growth platforms including maternal health, healthy aging, weight management, and medical nutrition, as well as therapeutic solutions in pet care. New clinical research tools and high-throughput screening systems will also advance the company\u2019s efforts in precision nutrition across the human and animal health sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orbe to host first deep tech center in global food industry<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In parallel, Nestl\u00e9 will establish the food industry\u2019s first deep tech center at its System Technology Center (STC<\/a>) in Orbe. The center will develop technologies such as next-generation sensors, robotics, virtual reality systems, and advanced AI for product development and operational excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart coffee machines, autonomous quality assurance systems, and digitally guided nutrition tools are among the future applications. The facility will officially open in the first half of 2026 and serve as a global hub for Nestl\u00e9\u2019s digital innovation in food systems and product engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to CTO Stefan Palzer, these initiatives reflect Nestl\u00e9\u2019s commitment to integrating science and technology into all stages of the value chain. By combining precision nutrition, digitalization, and agile R&D processes, Nestl\u00e9 aims to deliver clinically proven health solutions and scalable product innovations for both people and pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this transformation, the company reaffirms Western Switzerland\u2019s role as a central node in Nestl\u00e9\u2019s global innovation network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
