MEVO 2027
Senior leadership summit
Hotel Palace Berlin · 10 to 11 February 2027

MEVO convenes the leaders who govern the decisions that determine whether cultivated protein reaches scale. The room spans cell culture, ingredients, precision fermentation, food safety, manufacturing and strategic capital.

01

Protein has entered its industrial phase.

The science is proven. The question is infrastructure, cost and capacity.

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 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.
