Re:meat, founded in 2022, focuses on the large-scale development of cultivated meats—starting with beef—and plans to have a market-ready product by 2025–2026 aimed at foodservice.

Analyst QuickTake: Recently, there has been an uptick in cultivated meat companies emerging from stealth which may be due to recent developments in the regulatory landscape. Last month, Omeat, a California-based cultivated meat producer, emerged from stealth with USD 40 million in funding. Omeat also plans to build a pilot plant with a focus on cost reduction.
