Breaking down the Good Food Institute’s Essential 8 culture medium analysis

By optimizing culture media ingredients specifically for cultivated meat production, and by producing those ingredients at scale, costs may be reduced to as little as $0.24 per liter. This would enable cell-cultured meat produced in bioreactors to reach prices competitive with their animal-based counterparts. But investment and demand needed to reach those economies of scale remain a constraint on lowering cultivated meat production costs.

Tiamat Sciences: Using plants in place of bioreactors to meet the future needs of cellular agriculture

In 2040, one third of the meat on our plates could be grown outside of animals, drastically reducing the leading sources of CO2 emissions and water pollution, while answering the question of how to feed a global population of nine billion. Cellular agriculture companies such as Memphis Meats, BlueNalu, and Mosa Meat are racing to bring their products to market, but they are still missing a key ingredient: affordable culture media available in large quantities. Brussels-based startup Tiamat Sciences believes their technology platform could become the best option to bridge that gap.

Innovative North East tech disruptor secures funding to scale globally

Northstar-backed technology disruptor CellulaREvolution, which aims to revolutionise the way cells are grown at industrial scale, has secured £380,000 in funding to grow the company - a spin out from Newcastle University. CellulaREvolution has identified a significant opportunity in how to make the culturing of cells more efficient and affordable, which will benefit medical and pharmaceutical industries, and also the fast-increasing interest in cultured meat.
