Cultured meat – that is, meat produced from animal cells grown in a laboratory – is regarded as a promising alternative to conventional meat production. However, high costs, scaling issues and the need to realistically replicate the texture of meat have so far stood in the way of widespread market introduction. This is where the FORMeat team from RWTH Aachen University comes in with a patented process. Using fibre spinning technology, the researchers produce fine, thread-like structures from animal stem cells that mimic the tissue of muscle cells.
Despite our busy schedule, the program was designed with remarkable flexibility, allowing us to fully engage without compromising our other commitments. We gained valuable insights through numerous expert talks and built a strong network of connections. The program manager was incredibly patient and consistently provided thoughtful guidance and warm introductions to key contacts. We’re grateful for the support and inspiration this experience has given us.
