Goldfinch Solutions Selected as Innovation Business of the Year

Goldfinch Solutions, a University of Nebraska (www.unl.edu) faculty startup, has been named the 2016 Innovation Business of the Year by the Nebraska Business Development Center (NBDC). The award was presented formally during a luncheon March 17 at the Capitol in Lincoln attended by 21 senators from the Unicameral, including Senator Kate Bolz representing District 29.

Goldfinch Solutions is pioneering a multispectral imaging technology which identifies tender beef at the packing state of production. The technology is capable of predicting whether a piece of meat will be tender, intermediate or tough with very high accuracy. The company first worked with NBDC to apply for an SBIR Phase I grant from the USDA. Since 2008, they have received a total of $850,000 in funding.
