NEW TECH FOODS

Aleph Farms has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with The Cultured Hub – a joint venture between Migros Industrie, Givaudan and Bühler Group – to set up its first European production facility in Kemptthal, Canton Zurich.

The agreement marks a step towards bringing Aleph Farms’ cultivated beef products, branded as Aleph Cuts, to European markets. The company said the move reflects a capital-efficient and locally integrated approach while aligning with Switzerland’s food innovation ecosystem.

Aleph Farms CEO Didier Toubia said: "This partnership allows us to execute our global strategy in the best possible way, one that is both capital efficient and deeply embedded in the local market".

Aleph Farms has been working with Migros Industrie since 2019 and will now collaborate with The Cultured Hub to strengthen Zurich’s position as a centre for food innovation. The company said the move will help accelerate the commercialization of cultivated beef across Europe and contribute to building decentralized and resilient meat supply chains.
