About company
They are a technology company focused on developing and out-licensing their proprietary three-dimensional printing technology, biotechnology processes and customizable manufacturing processes to food processing and food retail companies seeking to manufacture proteins without the need for animal slaughter. They are developing a novel, proprietary three-dimensional bioprinter to deposit layers of differentiated stem cells, scaffolding, and cell nutrients in a three-dimensional form of structured cultured meat. They believe the cultured meat production processes they are developing, which are designed to offer their eventual customers an alternative to industrial slaughter, have the potential to improve the quality of the environment, shorten global food supply chains, and reduce the likelihood of health hazards such as zoonotic diseases transferred from animals to humans (including viruses, such as virulent avian influenza and COVID-19, and drug-resistant bacterial pathogens, such as some strains of salmonella). They are initially focused on developing cultured meat steak technology. In the third quarter of 2020, they announced that they had achieved a significant milestone with the successful printing of a uniform, thin, slaughter-free meat tissue produced from stem cells.
