Inside BENEO’s new pulse plant: pioneering sustainable protein from faba beans
With the aim of building a sustainable food system through cellular agriculture technology
Japanese firm Ajinomoto Co., Inc. has decided to collaborate with SuperMeat, an Israel-based food tech startup engaged in the development and production of cultivated meat. As part of this collaboration, Ajinomoto also invests in SuperMeat, as one of its corporate venture capital projects.
Through this investment, Ajinomoto will contribute to resolving food and health issues by combining SuperMeat’s technologies and expertise in the development of cultivated meat, with Ajinomoto’s proprietary R&D technologies in biomedical field and fermentation, and Deliciousness Technologies for such elements as flavor and texture.
SuperMeat has the experience and track record towards the commercialization of cultivated meat in the next 24 months. Going forward, Ajinomoto will provide support in resolving issues arising from their commercialization, and thus promote the development of new technologies and materials related to cultivated meat.
