Betagro Invests in Cultivated Meat Company Meatable to Expand Global Protein Options
Betagro, a leading player in Thailand’s meat industry, has made a significant move into the future of food by investing in the cultivated meat company Meatable.
This investment marks a key milestone for Meatable, as it is the first major meat company in Asia to back this innovative Dutch firm.
Revolutionizing Protein Production
The collaboration was announced through Betagro’s venture capital arm, Betagro Ventures, and it highlights the growing global interest in cell-based meat products.
Meatable, which specializes in lab-grown meat created from animal cells, believes this partnership will help reshape the future of protein production.
As global demand for meat continues to rise, Meatable’s groundbreaking cell-based technology aims to deliver high-quality pork and beef that replicate the taste, texture, and nutritional benefits of conventionally produced meat—without the environmental and ethical concerns associated with traditional farming.
“This investment is not just a testament to the potential of our cultivated meat technology,” said Jeff Tripician, CEO of Meatable. “It’s also a strong indication that established food leaders recognize the promise of the future of meat.”
Accelerating Growth and Market Entry into Asia
The deal between Betagro and Meatable is expected to boost the latter’s market presence in Asia. By entering the Asian market, Meatable can expand its reach, providing alternative protein sources to meet growing demands in the region.
The investment also opens the door for potential co-development projects between the two companies, further advancing the cultivated meat sector.
Meatable’s proprietary technology, Opti-ox, uses stem cell technology to develop animal cells in a lab, making it one of the leaders in the cultivated meat space.
This innovative approach could be pivotal in addressing global challenges like food security, sustainability, and reducing the carbon footprint of the meat industry.
