Gary Brenner, formerly vice president of marketing and business development at Solbar Industries Ltd., has created his own new company, Brenner pharma/food Business Development Ltd., in Israel.
The mission of Brenner pharma/food is to help create viable business models, taking innovative products and technologies to the global marketplace, while focusing on dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages and cosmeceuticals. The company will identify high value products and the most promising bioscience research start-up projects, working with strategic investors to realize the potential that lies in the health & wellness industry.
"Following 18 challenging years helping to build Solbar into a global player in the world of soy proteins, I decided to direct my business and market experience for developing a new generation of novel health ingredients and consumer products,” said Mr. Brenner. “Israel has become a hotbed for R&D in biotechnology and natural botanical extracts. Investors are showing growing interest in government and university sponsored incubator projects for their business potential."
