What Happened at the 5th Industrializing Cultivated Meat & Seafood Summit
The demand for meat is set to grow by 70% by 2050 making the need for cleaner, more sustainable sources greater than ever. Despite this need, a costly bioprocess and scale-up procedure are stalling the advancement of cultivated meat and seafood products reaching our menus and supermarket shelves. That’s why the Industrializing Cultivated Meat & Seafood Summit returned for the 5th year with 3 days dedicated to candid discussion and collaboration to enable problem-solving across scalable process development, regulations and consumer uptake to accelerate the industrialization of cultivated meat and seafood.
Our 2023 iteration boasted a larger than ever speaker faculty, with 85% novel insights covering the biggest bottlenecks to accelerating cultivated meat and seafood to our tables. With regulatory approval being a priority for 2023, participants didn't miss out on the exclusive opportunity to network and learn from FDA and USDA representatives who contributed to the expert speaker faculty.
They collaborated with thought-leaders at the end-to-end workshops dedicated to exploring regulatory requirements for product characterization, infrastructural considerations for industrializing your facility and forward thinking on how to study and build your consumer market to accelerate consumer acceptance.
