AI-powered ingredient discovery company Shiru launched the GLP-1 Innovation Alliance, inviting both Fortune 500 consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies and emerging brands to “collaborate as equals.” Shiru will grant businesses of all sizes access to its proprietary Flourish AI platform and library of over 33 million proteins to explore natural approaches to GLP-1 pathway activation. The company says the alliance is a “radical departure” from traditional industry collaborations as these typically exclude smaller businesses from cutting-edge research opportunities.
