Forward Water Technologies (FWTC) has been awarded $97,773 in matching funds as part of The Canadian Food Innovation Network’s Innovation Booster Program.

Forward Water is developing a new, food-safe process for cold concentration of foodstuffs, resulting in up to 10x the concentration capability when compared to thermally based technologies. This technology is expected to advance the competitiveness of Canada’s food business ecosystem through the production of higher-quality end products with reduced GHG emissions associated with conventional processing.

President and CEO Howie Honeyman sat down with Daniella Atkinson to discuss the news.

“The ability to cold concentrate liquid food and beverage streams preserves the high quality of the product while intensifying flavours and aromas produces no secondary waste stream, and accomplishes the process using only a fraction of the energy that traditional thermal processes require. The net result is a superior product made at reduced costs that lower GHG emissions. The support from CFIN will enable us to accelerate this development and get to market even faster”.

The CFIN Food Innovation Challenge seeks to support disruptive start-ups in the food service industry that are on the cusp of development and commercialization. The challenge is limited to Canadian-led collaborations, and grants are awarded based on merit.

Forward Water Technologies Corp. is a Canadian company dedicated to saving the earth’s water supply using its patented Forward Osmosis technology.

Forward Water Technologies Corp. (FWTC) opened trading at C$0.07.
