Mosa Meat, the company behind the world’s first cultivated hamburger, announced a strategic partnership with Nutreco, a global leader in animal nutrition and aquafeed, and with Lowercarbon Capital, a new US-based venture capital fund led by Chris Sacca, investing in planet healing technologies.
“As we enter a new phase, we’re excited to work with Nutreco, who have brought us their deep expertise managing manufacturing supply chains at a truly global scale, as well as Lowercarbon Capital, who draw on deep experience accelerating companies to have a global impact” says Maarten Bosch, CEO of Mosa Meat.
“I am thrilled that Nutreco has partnered with Mosa Meat as this investment opens the opportunity to produce real meat on a large scale in a highly-sustainable and animal-friendly way. As the global population continues to grow, the increased demand for protein will place more pressure on our food production system. If we are serious about Feeding the Future in a sustainable way we will need to produce protein from a variety of sources, including animal agriculture as well as alternative proteins,” says Nutreco CEO, Rob Koremans.
Nutreco and Lowercarbon are joining M Ventures, Bell Food Group, and other mission-based investors and advisors who have helped Mosa Meat achieve crucial technical milestones in 2018 and 2019. The Mosa Meat team has been growing significantly and development of the first pilot production plant, where the first commercial products will be grown, has started.
