MosaMeat Profile

On August 5, 2015, the first tasting of a burger assembled from 10,000 small strips of muscle that were individually grown in the lab took place. MosaMeat aims to develop tissue engineering into a technology that can mass-produce affordable meat.

By harvesting adult stem cells (also called satellite cells) and putting them in a bio reactor to multiply, MosaMeat is able to provide high-quality and cruelty-free meat. This procedure allows for much more control over the production process and over the composition of the meat in terms of nutrients, fat, taste, etc. It is likely that in the near future we will have customized meat grown by MosaMeat.

At Geltor, a motivated team of scientists is working on a new gelatin that is free of animals. By using high-tech and disruptive new approaches, Geltor is developing a full range of gelatin-based products that goes beyond food, cosmetics and medicines.

Hampton Creek Profile

300,000+ species of plants all around the world have never been explored for how they can make our cookies or pasta or ice cream or butter or scrambled eggs better.

So Hampton Creek literally started to explore them by hand. The team wanted to find plants that, because of their nutrition, low-impact cultivation and potential to make delicious food, will help to achieve Hampton Creek’s mission. The company’s debut product was mayo, made with Canadian yellow split peas. As a result, Hampton Creek became known as a mayo company. Today, Just products can be found in every Whole Foods and almost every Walmart across the country, at Texas A&M football games and library cafes at Yale, in Mexico City grocery aisles, and coffee bars on the busiest street in Hong Kong. And Hampton Creek is open to the idea of enabling other companies to use their platform, too.

New Wave Foods Profile

New Wave Foods was founded to preserve and enrich seafood traditions while taking the problems of commercial fishing out of the equation.

The two founders started by perfecting a plant- and algae-based shrimp because the crustacean is the most-consumed seafood on the planet and among the most damaging. But they won’t stop with shrimp – lobster, crab, and fish fillets (salmon, tuna, pollock and more) is on the way to your plate! Currently, the shrimp are available for food-service operators (colleges and universities, restaurants, resorts, food trucks, Kosher caterers, and more) and will be available in California and Nevada in early 2018 (later in 2018 in select markets nationwide and overseas).

New Roots Profile

The dream: crafting plant-based cheese. This dream came true after a lot of work and a pinch of craziness. The result: an artisanal, tasty and exploitation-free alternative to milk-based cheese.

It all started with experiments in the founders’ private kitchen by using all kind of strange equipment. The needed nuts come from selected farms that are delivering exceptional quality and are working with high human rights standards. The cashews are handled, streamed and dried in a special way to ensure that they are free of toxic substances. Today, New Roots offers a wide range of different cheeses for every taste.

Ocean Hugger Profile

Ocean Hugger Foods is making a difference for the world's oceans with Ahimi, a plant-based alternative to raw tuna for use in dishes including sashimi, nigiri, poke, tartare, and ceviche.

The first product from Ocean Hugger Foods is Ahimi, which is made from tomatoes. The texture and flavor of Ahimi are transformed through a special technique and it is designed to be a delicious alternative to ahi tuna with a savory, meaty taste. The appearance and texture are like raw tuna so that customers can’t tell the difference between the plant-based and the raw fish.
