MOSCOW (MRC) -- DSM is investing
USD100 mln to back the launch of Hologram Sciences (Chicago, Illinois), a
consumer-facing health technology company, said the company.
Royal DSM, a
global science-based company in nutrition, health and sustainable living,
announced the launch of Hologram Sciences, a consumer-facing company that will
create brands targeting various health conditions. By combining health
diagnostics, digital coaching and personalized nutrition, Hologram Sciences
brands will provide consumers with more holistic solutions to manage their
health. The mission-driven company combines top Silicon Valley talent, formerly

Hologram Sciences is backed with a USD100
million investment by Royal DSM, which has made personalized nutrition a key
pillar in its nutrition strategy, allowing the company to combine a range of
capabilities and resources to cover the entire personalized nutrition value
chain all the way to the consumer. Hologram Sciences will provide
state-of-the-art consumer-facing personalized nutrition solutions that have been
clinically proven to address a variety of consumer health needs. As solutions
are validated in-market, they will be available to DSM customers. Hologram will
also work to incubate products with DSM customers and partners, based on the
latest consumer insights and leveraging their agile approach.
As per MRC,
DSM agreed another
collaboration in 3D printing, coming after deal last week with US firm
Nexa3D. The latest collaboration is with Nedcam, which originated as a
spinoff from the Marine Research Institute Netherlands. Under that deal, Nedcam
will offer “Fused Granulate Fabrication” (FGF) 3D printing, using DSM materials.
The partners will also explore new applications in tooling, large-size and
circular end-use parts.
