6G Enabling Technologies: What Patent Trends Reveal About the Future of Wireless
With the IoT devices projected to surpass 24 billion by 2025, the importance of enhanced connectivity has never been more evident. This is where 6G emerges as the zenith. With speeds 100 times faster than 5G and significantly reduced latency, 6G offers significant improvements. Its expanded data capacity and heightened connection density are critical for […]
How Coca-Cola, Nestlé, and Unilever Achieved EPR Compliance Without Disrupting Their Product Pipelines
Maryland and Washington recently signed the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) law, becoming the sixth and seventh US states to move towards legalizing this concept. Now, one-fifth of the population, including residents of Maine, Oregon, California, Colorado, and Minnesota, lives under a packaging EPR policy. Producers must now register in multiple jurisdictions, report material volumes, and […]
This startup empowers every town to make its own hydrogen!
Producing hydrogen has always been a large-scale operation, confined to massive industrial plants equipped with specialized infrastructure and high energy demands. But imagine if you could make it at home. So far, this hasn’t been possible because hydrogen production typically requires intensive energy input, costly catalysts, and complex safety systems to manage its flammability and […]
Agriculture Technology Trends 2026: Farming Innovations Worth $148 Billion To Explore
Tier-one players like John Deere, AGCO, and CNH Industrial have already invested hundreds of millions in drones, autonomous systems, and AI-powered analytics. They’ve recognised that these are not as nice-to-haves, but as core competitive necessities for 2026. Drone pioneer DJI reports that agricultural drones generated $515 million in value in the US alone in 2023. […]
These 5 HVAC Innovations From Early-Stage Startups Will Bring You Closer To Net Zero Emissions!
HVAC systems account for 20% of global building electricity consumption, making energy efficiency improvements critical to meeting decarbonization targets. Yet most innovation in this space has been limited to marginal improvements in existing compressor designs, refrigerants, or control systems. Now, with regulations like the AIM Act mandating an 85% reduction in HFCs by 2036 and […]
This Startup Uses Gene Expression to Diagnose Livestock Issues Before the Symptoms Even Appear!
Many livestock animals have low‑grade health or nutrition issues that show no apparent signs. These health and nutritional problems go undetected because routine checks only catch obvious signs. Conditions such as Johne’s disease and subclinical parasitism are estimated to contribute to annual losses of hundreds of millions of dollars, impacting feed efficiency, growth rates, and […]
How Industry Players are Scaling Cell-Based Therapy by Solving Major Hurdles?
Cell and gene therapies have moved decisively beyond their early experimental phase. As of 2025, over 250 gene-editing clinical trials are actively enrolling patients worldwide, with more than 150 trials using CRISPR-based platforms alone. The field’s maturation is visible in recent regulatory milestones. Casgevy, the first CRISPR-based medicine, received FDA approval in late 2023 for […]
We’ve Been Making Chemicals Wrong for 100 Years. This Startup Changes That.
The chemical industry is responsible for over 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, primarily because it relies on fossil fuels as raw materials. Nearly every product we use today (plastics, textiles, fertilizers, fuels) starts with petrochemicals. This foundational reliance makes decarbonizing the industry one of the most complicated sustainability challenges. Moreover, as demand for chemicals […]
AI Ingredient Discovery Moves Mainstream among Top F&B Innovators
85% of new CPG products fail within two years. For the survivors, each six-month delay can erase 15-35% of a product’s net present value, while competitors capture market share that may never be recovered. Yet half of ingredient candidates still crash in late-stage feasibility—after months of bench work, procurement negotiations, and blown launch windows. The […]
Which Dairy Trends Are Worth Building For in 2026? These 5 Are Backed by Consumer and Patent Data
Bet on the wrong trend, and 18 months later, you’re explaining why it didn’t work in the boardroom, instead of celebrating product success. Kerry learned this the hard way. In March 2024, the company launched Smug Dairy, a hybrid line blending oats and traditional dairy to appeal to flexitarian consumers. Yet barely 18 months later, […]
What Replaces TiO₂ in Pharma? These Alternatives Match Industry Benchmarks
The European Commission has recently postponed the ban on TiO2 in medicinal products due to the lack of viable alternatives. This move highlights the overreliance on TiO2 and the need to transition away from it. According to EMA’s Article 57 database, over 91,000 medicinal products in the European Economic Area (EEA) contain TiO2. A global […]
These 2026 Cosmetic Trends Are Already in Your Competitor’s Pipelines. Is Yours Behind?
Spot a trend too late, and you lose a decade chasing your competitors. A 90-year-old beauty giant was slow to adapt to the rising trend of online shopping and social‑media marketing. Meanwhile, rivals like Kylie Cosmetics and Fenty Beauty captured the market, building direct‑to‑consumer channels and viral campaigns on Instagram and TikTok. This lack of […]
Beyond More Sensors: The software gap Automakers must achieve by 2029
Towards the end of 2020, Hyundai claimed that its AEB safety technology, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), is now standard on 96% of its car and SUV lineup. “We are proud to offer this life-saving technology on the vast majority of new Hyundai vehicles. It speaks to our organizational dedication to vehicle safety and the industry’s […]
Odorless and Sustainable Cooling Agents that Replace Menthol in Food and Medicines
Menthol is famously known for adding freshness to foods. But when used in excess, it numbs the mouth, carries a strong odor, tastes bitter or sharp, and can irritate the skin. It also tends to form clumps or crystals during mixing, leading to inconsistent cooling effects and uneven flavor intensity. As the demand for more […]
Saliva test kits to detect heart disease will hit the markets soon!
Traditional diagnostics wait for chronic diseases to cause enough damage to appear in lab tests, but AI can now predict them way before, just using your spit. Saliva contains more than 3,000 proteins and can reveal systemic conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and neurological disorders. Health tech giants are now leveraging AI-driven analysis of […]
The Multi-Sensor CGMs That Tracks Patient’s Entire Health Profile
In May 2025, Dexcom issued a Class 1 recall for its G6, G7, ONE, and ONE+ receivers due to a speaker malfunction. The failure of the speaker to produce an alert for dangerously high or low blood sugar levels was identified as a critical patient safety issue. This problem led to the ~56 cases of […]
