Uvera keeps food fresh for longer

🥗 Introducing UVERA! The Riyadh-based startup is on a mission to revolutionise food preservation with its intelligent kitchen appliance, Aurora.

(Be honest, how many times have you thrown out all that veg at the bottom of the fridge? Aurora to the rescue! 🍽️)

• Founded by Asrar Damdam in 2019, Uvera has secured grants amounting to $160,000 from the Taqadam accelerator, MIT Enterprise Forum and more. 

‍

💰 Investor low-down: Just last month, Aurora secured financial backing from Core Vision, following a seed round led by Draper University Ventures back in 2020.

🥑 The Global Food Waste Crisis

Households are responsible for 61% of the staggering 931 million tonnes of food that becomes waste annually, contributing to 8-10% of global greenhouse emissions. 

Uvera has developed Aurora to answer a simple yet universal challenge: how to keep food fresh for longer?

‍

🔬 Uvera’s Solution

Enter Aurora: a household appliance that uses a combination of UV-C light and vacuum sealing to extend food’s freshness by up to 97%. 

• The results are compelling – vegetables last 141% longer, fruits 123% longer, and meats 33% longer, all without chemicals. 

Did we mention the process takes 30 seconds? Simply place your food in and wait for the magic to happen! ✨

These figures not only represent a technological breakthrough but also potential household savings of up to $1,800 annually.
