NEW TECH FOODS

A new Innovate UK–funded collaboration will give food and biotech companies access to Cellular Agriculture’s next-generation bioreactor system without the need for upfront investment.

The UK government will invest £15m in an innovation hub to accelerate the commercialisation of plant-based, cultivated and fermented foods.

The UK’s Quest Meat has been awarded funding provided by the UKRI Technology Missions Fund and delivered by Innovate UK.

Innovate UK has awarded around £500,000 in grant funding to three cell-based meat companies based in the North-East of England.
