Steakholder Foods receives second SIIRD grant to advance 3D-printed fish

Steakholder Foods has received a $270,000 payment from the Singapore-Israel Industrial R&D Foundation (SIIRD) to advance its 3D-printed plant-based seafood development.

The company has now secured at total of $490,000 from the $1 million grant to advance its food technology innovations.

The first installment was paid in March 2024 after the company successfully produced 3D-printed hybrid fish using its Printer HD144 and Drop Location in Space printing technologies. The second payment was triggered by the creation of plant-based 3D-printed fish and eel. Steakholder Foods' team is now working on premix blends for 3D-printed eel as part of the next phase of the project.

The company has advanced in developing eel texture and flavour through model planning, material development, premix formulation and 3D printing, supporting Steakholder Foods' efforts to create sustainable seafood alternatives.

Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods, said: “We are thrilled to receive this second grant installment from SIIRD, which reflects our progress and commitment to advancing food technology. Our successful development of hybrid grouper fish has paved the way for new innovations, and we are excited to continue enhancing our 3D printing capabilities and premix formulations to create additional high-quality, sustainable seafood alternatives.”
