Industrial-Scale Bioreactor Cell Cultivation
Large-vessel bioreactor, perfusion and media-rejuvenation process engineering that lets animal cell culture be run as continuous food manufacturing at tonnage volumes and food-competitive unit economics.
Developed mainly in: Israel, Germany and United KingdomImpacting: North America, Europe, Rest of Asia and Middle East & Africa
London-based Meatly is fitting out a production site built around 20,000-litre cultivation vessels to test whether cultivated meat can hit viable unit costs at industrial volume. CEO Owen Ensor says the build needs only £3-4 million of capital expenditure, far below first-generation facilities, funded partly by a £10.4 million Series A. Output targets pet food rather than human plates.
