Cell Based Tech Weekly – MeaTech Goes Public, Agronomics £5.5M Raise, Responsible Investing

Categories Weekly Report

Another pure play cell based meat investment is now available, accessible on the Tel Aviv stock exchange. 

  • MeaTech (TLV: METC), based in Israel completed a reverse merger with Ophectra Real Estate, listed on the Tel Aviv stock exchange.

Background: MeaTech is developing a 3D stem cell printing technology for cell based meat production. The company’s founder and CEO Sharon Fima is an expert in complex 3D printing processes and is also the founder of Nano Dimension (Nasdaq: NNDM), a leading company in the printing sector. 

Technological Niche: MeaTech isolates somatic stem cells from a bovine umbilical cord and grows these cells inside of a bioreactor. The cells are then differentiated into bioinks or edible inks to 3D print different cell types such as fat and muscle. Once the cells are 3D printed they are placed into incubators to mature and grow. This unique process allows for the development of structured meats such as steaks. https://cellbased.link/c0p 

Bottom Line: MeaTech is currently the only cell based meat company integrating 3D bioprinting into the cell differentiation protocol.
