the Circle. MEVO

The industrialisation
of protein.

What grows. What feeds. Who decides what scales.

MEVO 2027
Leaders Summit
Hotel Palace Berlin · 10 and 11 February 2027

MEVO convenes the leaders who decide whether cultivated protein and fermentation reach scale. The room spans cell culture, ingredients, precision fermentation, food safety, manufacturing and strategic capital.

01

Protein has entered its industrial phase.

The science works at pilot scale. The question is cost, clearance and the customer.

02

The next value sits beneath the product.

Media, fats, ingredients and food-grade capacity. In March 2026 Solar Foods set out its first industrial-scale plant, taking Solein from 160 to 6,400 tons a year.

03

The category no longer stands alone.

It now intersects with microbes, process engineering, plant design and regulatory execution.

04

MEVO holds that full conversation.

Quietly. At senior level. In the room.

The gap

The question is no longer whether. The question is who builds the infrastructure.

The gap has changed.
It is no longer between belief and disbelief.
It is between technical promise and commercial readiness.

MEVO is where founders, operators, ingredient leaders, manufacturing partners and capital providers close that gap together.

The field does not move on promise alone. It moves when science, process and market timing begin to align. MEVO is held at that point of alignment.

The room

The room brings together company builders, scientific leaders, strategic operators and the infrastructure partners shaping what reaches market next.
