Dutch cultured meat pioneer, Mosa Meat<\/a>, the food tech company which developed the world’s first cultivated beef burger in 2013, has announced the closing of its Series B round.<\/a> The funding represents further investment in the cell-based sphere, with various big players ramping up development globally.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The third and final round of $10m brings the total raised in the round to $85m. The Maastricht-based company recently made huge steps<\/a> towards achieving its mission of reshaping global food systems by successfully developing animal-free media<\/a> and reducing the cost of production by 88 times. Mosa Meat will use the latest funds to extend its current pilot production facility, develop an industrial-sized production line, expand its team and introduce cultivated beef to consumers. <\/p>\n

The significant funding investment is further evidence of what the GFI named<\/a> the \u2018new space race for the future of food\u2019. Not just in Europe but across the globe, cell-based food startups have been experiencing breakthrough after breakthrough. Singapore became the first country in the world to approve cultivated meat for sale<\/a> just two months ago. Last week, Aleph Farms of Israel claimed to have cultivated the very first ribeye steak<\/a>, and last week also saw cellbased developments coming from South Korea<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mosa Meat\u2019s Series B funding round was led by Blue Horizon Ventures<\/a>, the food tech fund headed by Michael Kleindl<\/a>. The serial entrepreneurs aim to support and promote a positive global impact on the environment, human health and animal welfare, with special focus on plant-based, cultured meat and synthetic biology.<\/p>\n

“We are delighted to extend our collaboration with existing partners, and welcome new partners in this round,” said Maarten Bosch, CEO of Mosa Meat. “The closing of Series B funding brings us one step closer to our mission to develop a cleaner, kinder way of making real beef. Our partners bring immense strategic capabilities and expertise, and share our strong commitment to increasing the sustainability of our global food system.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
