Las Vegas, NVLonza Capsugel is hosting an invite-only opportunity to participate in the company's upcoming Innovation Day initiative. A collaboration project with Nutrition Business Advisors, Lonza announced that 10-12 companies will be chosen to present on October 27, 2025, during SupplySide Global in Las Vegas.

  • Complement GLP-1 therapies (e.g., semaglutide).
  • Address nausea, GI discomfort, and nutrient absorption challenges.
  • Sustain weight management and metabolic outcomes.

2. New Formulation Technologies Applicable in Hard Capsules

  • Improve stability, shelf-life, and performance.
  • Protection from oxidation, moisture, or degradation.  
  • Enhance bioavailability, absorption, and capsule compatibility.  

3. Innovative Oral Delivery Formats for Nutraceuticals

  • Beyond traditional capsules, tablets, or commoditized gummies.
  • Proprietary technologies with consumer or efficacy advantages.
  • Examples: advanced gummies, 3D-printed delivery, dissolvable films.

At the events conclusion, all selected candidates will be considered, on a case-by-case basis, for a potential post-event mentoring opportunity and a possible collaboration (e.g., partnership, co-development, commercialization, investment).
