The nascent cultivated meat industry is growing quickly in terms of the number of companies started, dollars raised, and places where it is grown (Israeli startup Aleph Farms has even grown cultivated meat on the International Space Station!). But the commercialization of cultivated meat at economically viable prices is still a work in progress.In order to reach cost parity with conventional meat, the cultivated meat industry will require additional participation from scientists in both industry and academia. This heightened scientific lens will help lower the barrier to entry, increase the adoption of new technologies, and spur the innovation necessary to bring cultivated meat further down the cost curve.
