MEVO 2027

Senior leadership forum

Hotel Palace Berlin · February 2027

MEVO convenes the leaders shaping cultivated meat and the commercial systems around it. The room now spans cell culture, enabling ingredients, precision fermentation, food safety, manufacturing and strategic capital.

01

Cultivated meat remains one of the defining ideas in food.

The harder question is now industrial, not conceptual.

02

The next value is being created across media, fats, ingredients, scale-up systems and food-grade manufacturing capacity.

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 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.
