OUR STORY
Food fraud activities were frequently observed by the founders from their experience in the German food industry. They witnessed the challenges and issues with the current solution during their doctorate and professional career. Certain incidences of food fraud including adulteration, mislabeling, misleading and nutrient content were noticed. They started approaching relevant authorities at government institutions and companies in Germany, Europe and rest of the world. The interviews confirmed that there is no feasible scientific method available in the supermarket chains. The government institutions were lacking availability of a user-friendly cross platform technique to prohibit such fraudulent activities.
In 2019, the founders received the prototyping grant from the ‘Initiative for Industrial Innovator’ by UnternehmerTUM. They further took part in the XPLORE Incubation organized by UnternehmerTUM as first initiation after presenting the concept. The validation by these two events helped them improvise and validate the idea which set the first milestone towards ScimerTech.
