PROHEMPOTIC
PROHEMPOTIC are developing healthy and sustainable food and drink products based on Hemp.
Hemp has been shown to be effective in reducing the risk of diabetes, obesity, cancer, and hypertension, it provides a wide range of nutrients and it high in protein making it the perfect ingredient for developing functional foods. Industrial Hemp is also a sustainable crop that can contribute to carbon sequestration and is less vulnerable to climatic variation than other similar crops such as Flaxseed.
PROHEMPOTIC are developing a new hempseed drink to improve the nutritional intake of the ageing population in Wales whilst contributing to the growth of the net zero economy.
Through the Mid Wales Challenge-Led Launchpad PROHEMPOTIC are able to access the facilities at AberInnovation to continue the testing and development of their product. Innovation Strategy are supporting PROHEMPOTIC in taking on their first employee through the Skills Builder element of the programme. Innovation Strategy are also providing one-to-one business mentoring and undertaking a marketing audit to help PROHEMPOTIC understand how best to reach their target audience and commercialise their product. Alongside this PROHEMPOTIC are able to attend regular workshops delivered by Innovation Strategy covering essential topics such as raising further funding and IP protection.
