Frequently Asked Questions

About FoodTech Experts
Contracting & Administration
Engagement Process & Timelines
Expert Selection & Quality Assurance
All
Can you replace an expert mid-engagement if our needs change?
Arrow
Yes. If priorities shift, we’ll rematch quickly to keep momentum.
Can experts join internal stand-ups or work in our tools?
Arrow
Yes. Experts adapt to your collaboration stack (Slack/Teams/Drive, etc.) and can embed for a few hours per week.
What deliverables can we expect?
Arrow
Examples: rapid-response memos, risk registers, TEA models and assumptions books, process flow diagrams (PFDs), pilot plans and trial reports, supplier shortlists and RFPs, regulatory pathway assessments, claim substantiation reviews, commercialization hands-on support, and many more - message us to see if we can cover your desired deliverable.
Do you support both FoodTech and AgriTech adjacencies?
Arrow
Yes. Ingredients, enzymes, fermentation inputs, biomass valorization/side streams, sustainable packaging, and supply-chain optimization are all in scope among other topics including agricultural expertise.
What backgrounds do your experts come from?
Arrow
Former founders and CTOs, ex-corporate R&D/ops leaders (ingredient, CPG, bioprocess), process/packaging engineers, pilot-plant managers, QA/food safety leads, sensory & nutrition scientists, LCA/claims specialists, former regulators and notified-body reviewers, commercialization leaders, and ex-investors/tech-DD specialists, and many more.
Which regulatory regimes do your experts support?
Arrow
Our experts have experience in: US (FDA/USDA), EU (EFSA/Novel Foods), UK (FSA/OPSS), Singapore (SFA), Australia/NZ (FSANZ), Canada (CFIA), and others via country-specific frameworks. Our experts provide practical, experience-based guidance rather than legal advice.
Do you cover highly specialized areas like downstream processing, strain engineering, or extrusion?
Arrow
Yes. Our experts cover topics across wet/dry fractionation, cell line/strain engineering, media optimization, downstream (clarification, filtration, chromatography), extrusion & texturization, aseptic processing, shelf-life, sensory, and packaging - plus commercialization and scale-up.
How is the length (and cost) of an engagement determined?
Arrow
You define the scope; we recommend whether hourly advisory, daily sprint packages or a multi-month retainer fits best. Rates scale accordingly and are agreed upfront - no surprises.
Are engagements remote or onsite?
Arrow
Most work is remote for speed and cost-efficiency, but onsite audits, pilot-plant visits or workshop days can be arranged worldwide.
Can I book both one-off consultations and long-term support?
Arrow
Yes. Schedule a 30-60 minute expert call or embed an expert part-time for months - same streamlined process either way.
Who is the contractual counter-party during a project?
Arrow
FoodTech Experts (via Bright Green Partners) remains the prime contractor; you receive a single invoice and we handle all agreements with the experts behind the scenes.
How does contracting work?
Arrow
We sign one master framework agreement with your company. All expert sub-contracts, NDAs and payments run through us, so your procurement team onboards only once.
How quickly can I connect with an expert?
Arrow
You can typically connect with an expert within 48 hours. Our streamlined process ensures that you get the expertise you need quickly and efficiently.
How do you select and vet your experts?
Arrow
We conduct interviews and credential checks to ensure each expert meets our high standards. For long-term engagements, we also facilitate one-on-one meetings between the expert and the client to ensure a perfect fit.
What industries or projects do your experts typically work on?
Arrow
Our experts have experience across various industries, from alternative proteins and sustainable agriculture to novel ingredients and large-scale bioprocessing. We support projects ranging from R&D and scale-up to commercialization and market entry.
How diverse are the topics covered by your network?
Arrow
Our specialists span hundreds of FoodTech niches e.g., fermentation, biomass valorization, food-safety QA, downstream processing, sensory science, market analytics, supply-chain optimization, and more - covering every step from upstream agricultural inputs to downstream consumer.
What types of expertise are available through your platform?
Arrow
Our experts cover a wide range of FoodTech specializations, including fermentation, precision fermentation, cell cultivation, mycelium technology, algae production, and more. We continuously expand our network as new innovations emerge in the FoodTech space.
What makes FoodTech Experts powered by Bright Green Partners unique?
Arrow
