🔥 We challenge you!
Cultured meat is about to disrupt the conventional meat industry. Animals that are still in the supply chain are already being culled in the Netherlands due to emission regulations, putting current Dutch livestock farmers in open revolt. The traditional meat sector has hit its peak, yet we will need 67% more protein intake to feed 10 billion people by 2050. With land scarcity, climate change affecting crops for animal feed, and cultured meat joining the mix as a more sustainable and eco-friendly option, the animal farming crisis could spread throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
Our ambition is to make the lab-grown food production process more accessible to both the pioneers of the cultured meat movement and those in the traditional meat sector who would suffer as a result, including animals.
By combining heat flows with biomaterials, we intend to unblock the bottlenecks in biotech process transfer and scale the production of biocomponents and lab-grown meat.
We are at TRL-3 with a prototype built in collaboration with a multi-billion global lab provider, who provided us with an LOI. We demonstrated it can carry temperature-dependent experiments, such as cell growth and PCR. Our patent has reached the national phase in the US and Europe.
