Atelier Meats

Atelier Meats is a biotechnology company that develops structured meat that has the form and texture of conventional steak, pork chops, and chicken breasts.

Atelier’s patent-pending technology involves isolating animal cells to form scaffolds and repopulating them to produce textured meats like poultry, red meat, and seafood. The company claims that the main element of its product quality is the combined use of intra-species scaffolds and cells (e.g., cow scaffolds and cow cells). Atelier focuses on selling to households and food services across Asia-Pacific and North America.

Key customers and partnerships

In March 2022, the company entered into a collaborative R&D agreement with Rutgers University to develop Atelier’s proprietary technology of using an extracellular matrix (ECM)-based scaffold to grow meat.
