In the field of food and health food research and development, an increasing number of companies are facing the following challenges: - Difficulty in exploring new functional materials and differentiation themes, leading to a depletion of research topics. - While they are collecting information from conferences and papers, they struggle to translate this into research themes directly related to their products. - They remain limited to competing similar products and follow-up projects, failing to establish uniqueness. - Although there are seeds of ideas, they struggle to elevate them to scientific hypotheses and build the necessary foundations for internal approval. Behind this lies a "wall of execution" that cannot be overcome by traditional information gathering and research processes. In this webinar, we will introduce a new R&D approach to break through these challenges. It is a next-generation research and development scheme that combines AI-driven hypothesis generation, which has achieved results in drug discovery, with scientific hypothesis verification by a food human trial CRO. This will allow for the transformation of vague ideas into scientifically verifiable projects, simultaneously achieving the construction of persuasive foundations for upper management and differentiation development.
