about

Origin

We started as a small group of engineers and scientists who set out in 2020 to help grow a sustainable bioeconomy. We wanted to apply modern computational and biological tools to issues holding back the scale-up of biomanufacturing. To begin, we created a cheaper, safer feedstock for cultivated meat production.

Vision

We're building a world in which biomanufactured products are accessible at global scale as part of a sustainable bioeconomy. Within the food system, we want to make cultivated meat affordable for all by reducing costs and enabling scale.

Mission

We reduce the time and cost to bring biomanufactured foods, medicines and materials to market. We accelerate the development process to make media that performs better and costs less, helping our partners deliver impact at scale.

Industry involvement

We're part of CARMA, the UK's Cellular Agriculture Manufacturing hub. CARMA works with industry leaders to increase the sustainability of food manufacturing by responsibly integrating cellular agriculture into the existing food system. Being a part of CARMA allows us to stay at the forefront of industry developments and contribute to a more sustainable future.
