🍖The B2B value chain for cultured meat
I’ve created an end-to-end value chain for B2B companies that not only focuses on cultured meat but shows how the value provided by these companies can be applied to virtually any bio-manufactured product. What’s even more exciting is that less than half of these companies existed five years ago 🔍.
🚀Unlocking Potential: Exosomes & Cultured Meat Synergy 🌱🔬
The commercial scale production of cultured meat will lead to an intriguing by-product: spent media. This medium, though (somewhat) nutrient-depleted and filled with waste, harbors a treasure trove of extracellular vesicles known as exosomes. Packed with proteins, lipids, and RNA, these tiny powerhouses have vast potential in a myriad of applications, including the therapeutic and broader biomanufacturing spaces.
🎓Branding for Impact: Insights from the FoodHack Meetup ✨
Last evening, I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural FoodHack Melbourne meetup of 2024 🚀. For those unfamiliar, FoodHack is a global network of entrepreneurs and investors collaborating to revolutionize our food system for the better.
🍖The Untapped Potential of Flavor Profiles in Cultured Meat
Imagine if these B2B companies began to articulate the flavor profiles of their cells and media formulations. Just as a coffee roaster highlights the unique tasting notes of their beans, these suppliers could offer insights into the potential taste nuances their products might bring to the final cultured meat product.
🍖 Cutting Through the Fog: The Real Story Behind Cultured Meat in 2024
As a staunch advocate for cultured meat and cellular agriculture, I'm excited about its potential in 2024. Yet, we must acknowledge and address the growing challenges it faces, particularly the well-funded anti-cultured meat campaigns.
🍖The many successes of the cultured meat industry
With products released in Singapore and now the US cultured meat stirred up quite the conversation in 2023. As we gear up for more products hitting the market in 2024 (hopefully also in Australia), it's worth looking at some of the hidden benefits of cultured meat.
