Liquid Orchard Selected as an IFT FIRST 2026 Startup Pitch Finalist

Liquid Orchard Inc., the company behind the Liquid Nature brand, has been selected as one of six finalists for The Pitch! at IFT FIRST 2026, one of the world's leading events for food science and innovation.

Each year, IFT FIRST brings together researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, manufacturers, and industry leaders to explore technologies that will shape the future of food. This year, approximately 100 startups are exhibiting in the Startup Pavilion, and six companies were selected to present their innovations during the live Startup Pitch Competition.

Liquid Orchard will present its proprietary food processing platform, designed to transform whole fruits and vegetables into smooth, drinkable products while preserving more of their natural nutrition, fiber, and flavor. Through our brand, Liquid Nature, we are working to make whole-produce nutrition more convenient and accessible.

We are honored to be recognized among this year's finalists and look forward to sharing our vision with the global food innovation community.
