R&D & Innovation
Our R&D & Innovation service connects scientific excellence with practical commercialisation. At the heart of this effort is our cooperative Fonterra Innovation Centre, one of the world’s leading hubs for dairy and functional food innovation. Together, we provide:
-
Ingredient & Formulation Development: Leveraging Fonterra’s expertise in dairy proteins, probiotics, and bioactives to co-create formulations tailored for Asian consumers.
-
Technical Support & Scale-up: Optimise manufacturing processes with pilot-scale trials and ensure smooth scale-up for commercial production.
To ensure every project is commercially viable and strategically aligned, we follow a structured development workflow:
-
Customer Needs Analysis – Understanding product concepts, target markets, and consumer expectations.
-
Development Assessment – Evaluating technical feasibility, ingredient compatibility, and regulatory hurdles.
-
New Product Development Proposal – Designing an R&D roadmap with clear milestones.
-
Product Project Approval – Formal review and confirmation before development begins.
-
Cost Analysis – Transparent evaluation of raw material, production, and regulatory costs.
-
Product Quotation Description – Comprehensive breakdown of deliverables and financial estimates.
-
Development Contract – Final agreement outlining scope, responsibilities, and timelines.
