Czech Government Supports Mewery with €200K Grant to Cultivate Pork

The Czech government granted nearly €200,000 to Mewery on January 26, 2024. This funding, facilitated by the CzechInvest Technological Incubator, supports Mewery’s research into cultivated pork using microalgae. I reviewed the process of using microalgae in a previous post if you want to read up on that research. The investment aims to improve the company’s technological platform, preparing it for expansion (Presumably improving computing power and implementing AI solutions to optimise processes).

Mewery’s work focuses on developing a sustainable and ethical alternative to traditional pork, potentially reducing environmental impacts. They have developed what is described as the “first-ever” cultivated burger, made from pork and microalgae cells. This development is part of a broad initiative to create slaughter-free pork alternatives, which are sustainable and ethical and capable of dramatically reducing the environmental impact of traditional pork production.
