This isn’t just the future of food
it’s a global imperative. MEVO 2026 is where bold leadership drives resilient, scalable change.
Investment & Funding Support Strategy
Many food companies are actively investing in alternative proteins. These partnerships can come with capital, R&D resources, and strategic guidance, which can help cultivated meat firms overcome early-stage hurdles and accelerate regulatory approval processes
Scale and Infrastructure Strategy
Food companies have established supply chains, large-scale manufacturing capabilities, and distribution networks. Partnering with them allows cultivated meat startups to scale up production more efficiently and reach markets faster,without having to build everything from scratch.
Market Access & Consumer Trust Strategy
-
Focus Group - Innovation Workshop
Collaborating with Big food brands - providing access to: -
Retail shelf space
-
Global distribution channels
-
Brand trust – consumers are more likely to try cultivated meat if it's endorsed by a familiar name.
