Mealia, one of the winners of the Smart Data Discovery Challenge, has secured investment from Founders Factory in collaboration with Nesta. Given that Challenge Works is part of Nesta, Mealia is no longer eligible to participate in the Challenge and has had to withdraw. However, as an eligible finalist of the Challenge Prize and a leading UK use case for retail smart data, Mealia will continue as a non-financial fellow.
Mealia is a smart food assistant that helps people plan meals and shop in a way that saves money, time, and the planet. It builds grocery lists from real supermarket data, picking healthy, affordable, and eco-friendly options achieving 20% cost savings, 30% reduction in carbon footprint, and 85% time savings without using Smart Data. By using Smart Data, Mealia hopes to provide even more accurate and personalised help to every shopper. This shows how Smart Data sharing can make everyday choices easier and better for everyone.
