PRECISE, was prominently featured at the national ‘Folkemødet’ on the Danish Island of Bornholm. This annual gathering, renowned for its vibrant exchange of ideas and community engagement, provided the perfect backdrop for PRECISE to showcase its mission and technological advancements.
At the heart of the event, nestled within the ‘Euro-Telt’—a pavilion orchestrated by Interreg—PRECISE could present their ideas. The team demonstrated how their cutting-edge technology could significantly diminish the prevalent issue of meat and fish waste. This waste is often attributed to the uncertainties surrounding the freshness of these perishable goods. By introducing a state-of-the-art sensor, PRECISE aims to revolutionize how food freshness is assessed, curtailing unnecessary waste.
The project’s presence was further supported at the ‘Techtelt’, an “Engineer the Future” initiative that champions technological innovation by combining all Danish Universities with Engineering programs. Here, the PRECISE team engaged with a diverse audience, sparking conversations about sustainable practices and the future of food safety.
The response was overwhelmingly positive. A myriad of visitors, including restaurant chefs, journalists, politicians, and other influential figures, flocked to the presentations. They were eager to learn about the project’s potential to transform the food industry. The interactions were rich with curiosity and enthusiasm as attendees explored the practical applications of PRECISE’s technology in their respective fields.
Overall, the participation in Folkemødet was not just an opportunity but a significant milestone for PRECISE. It marked a step forward in raising awareness about food waste and sustainability. The event served as a catalyst, inspiring a dialogue that extended beyond the confines of Bornholm.
