24 – 25  April 2019 – MUNICH, GERMANY. In late April, BioAnalyt participated in a challenge workshop hosted by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and WFP Innovation Accelerator. The goal of the workshop was to critically assess the root causes of failure in the quality of fortified foods and brainstorm innovative solutions to overcome these challenges.

The workshop used a design-thinking format, which helped the group to develop a collective understanding and converge on solution spaces to improve impact. BioAnalyt’s Dr. Anna Zhenchuk participated in this workshop and provided critical thinking around challenges faced in lab capacity and food testing as well as data management and communication.

The workshop concluded with the key 5 bold steps that need to take place along the food fortification value chain and you can read the full workshop report here. BioAnalyt will be contributing to capturing  quality data with our Connected iCheck and local training centers. We look forward to sharing more details of new alliances and solutions soon!
