Our founder and CEO Felix Cheung gave a 5-minute pitch presentation before an audience of 300 investors at Techstars Farm to Fork Accelerator Demo Day on Thursday 3rd December. The culminating event showcased IXON's growth and work after 5-month of interactions with lead mentors from top companies including Cargill, Ecolab, Grow North and Memphis Meats.

In his speech, Cheung explained that food wastage is the number one reason for food insecurity and malnutrition around the world. Every year, only a portion of the food we produce are eaten. Approximately 25% of the meat and 40% of the fish are thrown away because of food spoilage, overbuying, or expiration dates.

“That’s 100 million tonnes of food, worth 300 billion US dollars, that could have been used to feed 2.3 billion people,” says Cheung. “Our technology helps extend the shelf life of meat, eggs, fish, and seafood from days to years.”

本公司的始創人兼首席執行官張文浩先生於12月3日星期四Techstars Farm to Fork Accelerator的演示日上向在場300名投資者進行了五分鐘演說。此活動標誌著IXON與來自Cargill、Ecolab、Grow North和Memphis Meats等頂尖公司的首席導師5個月互動後的成果。

張在致辭中解釋說，食物浪費是造成世界糧食不足和營養不良的首要原因。每年我們生產的食物中只有一部分被食用，有大約25％肉和40％魚因為食物變質、過量購買或超出有效期而被丟棄。

張說：「這相等於一億噸或價值三千億美元的食物，此分量足夠養活二十三億人口。我們技術有助延長肉、蛋、魚和海鮮的保存期好幾年。」
