We usually spend the first part of our day on market analysis by doing extensive literature and database reviews, and often also have informal interviews with colleagues at Novonesis. Afternoons and evenings are usually for a discussion of how the day’s work informs our next steps for the project and also for a quick break to do some jigsaw puzzles at the coffee stations!☕

Our thesis is about innovation in the functional food industry. Specifically, we are exploring the innovation potential in the (still emerging market of) functional baked goods category. Our goal is to study the dimensions along which innovation value can be generated, as well as an analysis of the specific obstacles to innovation in the functional foods industry.🕵♀️

Three key things! First, always reach out. People are excited to help and provide their perspectives, whether in formal meetings or coffee chats.
Second, be adaptable. There is always a perspective you didn’t think to consider, and it’s important to be able to step back and reassess, to have the best results possible. Third, make decisions to achieve the final goal. It is easy to get lost while exploring so much new information, but keeping your focus helps to prioritize. But the main part is to enjoy yourself along the way!
We want to thank our supervisor from CBS, Mercedes Delgado, and from Novonesis, Mathias Qwist Fenger!
