AAK has joined the latest edition of the Next Generation Pet Food Programme as an industry collaborator alongside Bühler Group, Givaudan and Ingredion. Led by Big Idea Ventures and Mars Petcare, the global initiative focuses on accelerating innovation in pet nutrition.
Launched on May 12, 2026, the programme brings together companies across food technology, ingredients, and pet care to support startups developing alternative proteins, fats, oils, and other novel ingredients for the pet food industry.
As part of the collaboration, it contributes expertise in fats, oils, ingredient functionality, and product development, while supporting startups through workshops, technical guidance, and collaboration with experts across pet nutrition and ingredient innovation.
Niall Sands, president commercial development and innovation, said, “At AAK we see a unique opportunity to bridge human food expertise and pet nutrition to improve animal well-being. By focusing on functional ingredients that support digestion, immunity, and overall vitality, this program helps scale innovations that are nutritious & sustainable.”
