Mosa Meat

Mosa Meat was founded in 2013 by Professor Mark Post, a vascular biologist at Maastricht University, who created the world's first cultured beef burger in 2013. The burger cost $330,000 to produce and was funded by Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Since then, Mosa Meat has been working on scaling up the production process and reducing the cost of cultured meat. The company has raised over $85 million in funding from investors such as Merck Ventures, Nutreco, Bell Food Group, and Blue Horizon Ventures. Mosa Meat reported revenue of $35.2M for FY 2022.

Mosa Meat is based in Maastricht, Netherlands, where it has its headquarters and pilot production plant. The company plans to launch its first commercial product, a minced beef product, in 2022 in selected restaurants in Europe. Mosa Meat aims to achieve price parity with conventional beef by 2025 and to reach mass production by 2030. The company also hopes to expand its product portfolio to include other types of meat, such as steak and chicken.

Mosa Meat is not only a leader in cultured meat production, but also in research and innovation. The company has several ongoing projects and collaborations with academic and industry partners to improve the quality, safety, and sustainability of cultured meat.

Mosa Meat has received several awards and recognitions for its groundbreaking work in cultured meat. In 2018, the company won the World Technology Award for Environment from the World Technology Network. In 2019, the company was named one of the 50 Genius Companies by Time Magazine. In 2020, the company was ranked among the Top 100 Food Tech Companies by Forward Fooding.
