Cell AgriTech to open Singapore pilot plant for cultivated meat production

Cell AgriTech has announced that its new pilot plant in Singapore will become operational by August 2025.

The facility is designed to support start-ups and cultivated meat companies through a contract manufacturing model that eliminates upfront capital and operational expenditure.

The site aims to serve as both a production hub and a testing ground for cellular agriculture technologies. Through monthly plans starting at SGD 10,000 (approx. $7.82), clients will have access to dedicated bioreactors, real-time remote monitoring, on-site training space and office facilities.

Each customer’s operations will be fully segregated to ensure traceability and IP protection, with optional use of proprietary media and bespoke NDAs available.

Cell AgriTech says contracts are structured with a minimum six-month commitment, during which clients receive dedicated rooms, equipment and customised production set-ups tailored to their needs.

The facility will be certified to ISO 22000, HACCP and GMP standards. Regulatory support for Singapore Food Agency (SFA) applications is also included.
