Four Challenges to Connect.
| New Business Models
| Future Foods
| Power Connections
| Green Tech
Future Foods
Technologies to develop innovative food products aligned with consumer needs and emerging regulations.
Proteins of the Future
Plant-based protein alternatives and less processed, nutritious plant-based products.
We prioritize advanced plant-based cold cuts that are healthy, great tasting, and clean-label.
We focus on products that are close to scalability and have exclusivity potential.
Innovative & Functional Snacks
Innovation in healthy snacks made with real ingredients and additional benefits for
consumers.
Healthy Reformulation
Technologies that reformulate products without affecting taste, quality, or acceptance.
Product Development
Seeking AI-based tools and solutions to speed up product creation, formulation, and improvement, optimizing R&D cycles while keeping product quality and consumer preferences intact.
News Business Models
Innovative business models that leverage Sigma's strengths and align with new technological trends and market opportunities.​
Digital Shopping Experiences
Digital solutions to improve customer relationships, enhance their experience, and streamline order management across different sales channels.
Innovative Consumption Models
Product development aligned with healthy and sustainable consumption trends, including subscription models, dark kitchens, and food delivery.
Fintech for Supply Chain
Financial solutions that drive growth in the traditional channel, including loyalty programs and personalized rewards for mom-and-pop stores, flexible financing options for businesses (leasing, revenue-based financing), and services that facilitate remittance
sending and receiving at point-of-sale locations.
Power Connections
Technologies to develop innovative food products aligned with consumer needs and emerging regulations.
Smart Ordering and Logistics
Digital tools that improve order management, optimize delivery routes, reduce costs, and increase logistics efficiency.
Sales and Display Strategies
Solutions to optimize product management, display, and availability at points of sale.
Supply Chain Management
Solutions with predictive algorithms to improve inventory management, optimize demand
planning, and increase visibility of processes and operational costs.
Quality Control and Traceability
Data
Intelligence
AI solutions that detect quality issues, improve process control, and ensure product traceability while meeting the highest food safety standards.
AI-driven solutions for data analytics, including large language models (LLMs), vector databases, and tools to make AI more accessible throughout the company.
Smart Process Automation
Automating administrative tasks and approvals to improve operational efficiency.
Operational
Control
Solutions to optimize security in our facilities with advanced access control, smart
monitoring, and attendance management, using artificial intelligence and digitalization.
Green Tech
Technologies that minimize carbon emissions and transform Sigma's supply chain towards a more
sustainable future.
Sustainable Cold Chain
Innovative technologies to make the cold chain more efficient, including low-energy refrigeration, clean energy transportation (electric vehicles, natural gas), and eco-friendly
refrigerants, thereby reducing emissions in the last mile.
Scope 3
Advanced solutions for our raw material suppliers, focused on emission reduction (methane, enteric), regenerative agricultural practices that enhance animal nutrition, food
consumption optimization techniques, and waste reduction (precision livestock farming).
Optimal Water Management
Innovative solutions to improve water reuse and discharge in our operations, reducing environmental impact while complying with regulations. We seek technologies that improve
treatment efficiency, minimize consumption, and enhance the quality of discharged water.
Packaging and Preservation
Revaluation and Circular Economy
Innovative packaging solutions that reduce environmental impact and extend product shelf life. We explore alternatives to plastic—such as recycled, biodegradable, or bio-based materials—without compromising functionality or product safety.
We seek technologies that improve waste management and transform by-products into new raw materials or value-added solutions, contributing to a more efficient and sustainable
production model.
