Awards
NUCAPS has been selected as a finalist in the Start-Up Award category of the NutraIngredients Europe Awards 2026, one of the most prestigious awards in the European nutraceutical sector.
The awards celebrate excellence in innovation across ingredients and products that support consumer health, with particular emphasis on strong scientific foundations, disruptive potential, and proven commercial success.
The 2026 edition focuses on breakthroughs addressing consumer needs in areas such as mind and mood, microbiome modulation, women’s health, and healthspan. The judging panel, made up of 28 industry experts, praised the high quality of submissions, including patents, innovative technologies, and clinically grounded science.
“2026 was certainly a year of breakthroughs — from patents to innovative technologies and science with strong clinical foundations,” said Ewa Hudson, Director of Insights at Lumina Intelligence and chair of the judging panel.
The winners will be revealed during a special awards ceremony on Wednesday, May 6, 2026 in Barcelona, coinciding with NutraIngredients’ 25th anniversary and described as “the industry party of the year.”
