      <p>
        MeaTech&rsquo;s subsidiary, Peace of Meat, will focus on the in-house development of the system and the commercialization of the technology to third-party manufacturers. This way, MeaTech reports that it can accelerate market entry and address the lack of such infrastructure for mass production in the cultivated meat industry.
