The alternative
protein ecosystem

Our Cultured Meat Group is dedicated to tackling issues associated with cultured meat production through cutting-edge research. We emphasize the establishment of stable, immortalized cell lines derived from agriculturally relevant animals, a critical step in scaling up cultured meat production. Moreover, we’re focused on the development of cost-effective, plant-based edible scaffolds that facilitate cell attachment and meat production. Another pivotal aspect of our research involves the creation of animal-free, low-cost cell culture media tailored for optimal cell cultivation and differentiation into meat. Bioreactors are of central importance for scaling up production while maintaining the highest levels of quality and safety. We also focus on the development and ongoing optimization of a novel type of bioreactor that can support the growth of cells and tissue maturation by means of mechanical stimulation. Our main goal is therefore to pave the way for a future where cultured meat becomes a sustainable and accessible choice, helping to meet the global demand for protein while alleviating the environmental and ethical concerns associated with traditional meat production.
