It is not about creating thousands of new products, but creating the right products consumers need.
Our Story
Qina which means “Be strong” in Zulu was founded in 2019. The idea for Qina was born when the Founder noticed a gap in the market for domain experts in companies who were developing digital nutrition products. Qina is a remote company which means that the entire business is run in the cloud delivering services through a select group of nutrition experts.
We are entrepreneurial nutrition scientists at heart, holding qualifications from Bachelors to PhD’s, and with experience from disease prevention to medical nutrition. Qina has grown into a small team, and a globally recognized specialized innovation consultancy and platform providing market intelligence, expert content and consultancy services to startups, SME’s, multinationals and other stakeholders in the industry.
We are unique because we are expert-led and leverage the latest in cloud technologies to be more agile, efficient and connected. This means we deliver our services faster, are data-informed removing our own bias, and more transparent about how we work.
