A new wave of meat, fish, and poultry alternatives are driving this hyper-growth industry into the mainstream.

Plant-based Meat

<div>
 <p>Matr Foods, a mycelium meat production company, has received a debt funding of EUR 20 million from the European Investment Bank, with the support of the InvestEU scheme.</p>
 <p>This funding will enable Matr Foods to build their first factory at a commercial scale, with plans to open in 2026. The annual production is projected to increase to over 3,000 tonnes of clean-label meat analogs from the current 30-40 tonnes produced at the pilot plant. Matr Foods is also set to invest more in R&amp;D.</p>
 <p>The company employs a unique solid-state fermentation process, using upcycled ingredients like beetroots, potatoes, lupins, peas, and oats. They claim their products have a significantly lower climate footprint (1.6 kg CO2e/kg) which is 94% less than beef, in line with the EU's Green Deal target of achieving net zero emissions by 2050.</p>

 <p>The blockchain-based game developer, Sky Mavis, has introduced its cross-game onboarding solution called Ronin Waypoint. This platform allows players to access games on Ronin using a single account via email or social logins, eliminating the need for seed phrases or browser extensions. This is achieved through the implementation of multi-party computation (MPC) technology which securely produces keyless wallets in the background.</p>
 <p>Ronin Waypoint is designed to enable users to trade, swap, and mint assets across partner games within the Ronin ecosystem. It's currently operational in Axie Classic and will be extended to Axie Origins and further games. Moreover, Ronin Waypoint provides cross-platform functionality and is compatible with Unity, Telegram, iOS, and Android platforms.</p>

Precision Medicine

<div>
 <p>Bicara Therapeutics has successfully raised USD 315 million in its Initial Public Offering (IPO), selling 17.5 million shares at USD 18 each. Initially, the company planned to garner USD 200 million but subsequently increased the share offering to USD 250 million and later to the final pricing.</p>
 <p>The funding will be allocated towards the development of its primary candidate, ficerafusp alfa. Bicara aims to begin a Phase II/III trial for this candidate by either late 2024 or early 2025.</p>
 <p>Bicara Therapeutics primarily focuses on producing dual-action biologics for treating solid tumors. Their lead resource, ficerafusp alfa (BCA101), is a pioneering bifunctional antibody that tackles tumor growth and restores immune cell activity within the tumor environment concurrently. It is mainly being developed for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), advanced squamous non-small cell lung cancer (SqNSCLC), and cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.</p>
