Evidence before assumptions
Consumer behaviour, environmental impact and commercial viability measured in a shared applied-research environment.
Central European hospitality & beverage innovation platform
Make the future tangible.
A university–business living lab turning applied research into testable products, practical HORECA tools and export-ready models.
One platform.
Real-world proof.
Méthode du Futur connects academic rigour with the pace of beverage, technology and hospitality businesses. Ideas leave the seminar room, enter pilot operations and return as evidence.
Tested where it matters
Products, devices and service concepts trialled with real guests and HORECA partners.
Built to travel
Commercialisation and export models designed alongside research—not added at the end.
Circular CO₂.
Sparkling impact.
Our emerging European flagship project studies how circular CO₂ can work safely, sustainably and credibly in sparkling beverages and service.
The questions
- Which CO₂ sources can be reused safely and practically?
- What is the measurable environmental benefit?
- How do consumers perceive value and quality?
- What are guests and buyers willing to pay?
The route
- Map sources and technical requirements
- Measure acceptance and perceived value
- Run beverage and HORECA pilots
- Build viable European scale-up models
A network already in motion.
MENDELU and PROQIN form the founding base, connected to an international academic and industry ecosystem.
