South Korea is establishing a national Cell-Cultured Food-Tech Research Support Center in Uiseong-gun at a cost of ₩14.5 billion ($10 million). Opening in 2027, the facility will integrate research, development and commercial support for alternative proteins, including prototype and commercial-scale production. It will be located in a “Regulation-Free Special Zone” with exemptions to foster innovation. The center aims to accelerate South Korea’s food tech industry, particularly cultivated meat, through government investment and regulatory support in a strategic hub for bio-tech companies.
