Leaders from Swedish government, business and academia

provided a more authentic meat-eating experience
REHOVOT, Israel, May 17, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- MeaTech 3D Ltd. (Nasdaq: MITC), an international
deep-tech company at the forefront of the cultured meat revolution,
is pleased to announce that yesterday the company hosted a tasting
event for a Swedish delegation of prominent leaders from
government, business and academia. The event took place at
MeaTech's headquarters in the Rehovot Science Park, the hub of
Israeli food tech.
The visit was organized in cooperation with the food-tech
unit at the Israeli Export Institute as part of The Connector
Conference which aimed to deepen Swedish-Israeli collaborations in
innovative food and ag-tech ecosystems.
Guests were served hybrid chicken nuggets made with cultured
chicken developed by MeaTech's Belgian subsidiary, Peace of Meat.
Cultured chicken gave the mostly plant-based nuggets an authentic
meaty flavor, aroma and texture.
MeaTech's chef prepared the dish in the company's tasting
kitchen. Guests were also treated to a tour of MeaTech's labs and
R&D facilities and observed the company's 3D printing
capabilities.
Arik Kaufman, CEO of MeaTech,
said: "We are excited and honored to host this delegation of
Swedish business, government and academic leaders and are
proud to offer them a taste of our own cutting-edge achievement in
the field of cultured meat. We believe that hybrid food products
that combine plant-based ingredients and cultured meat have the
potential to be a game changer for sustainable alternative meat
products offer a meatier taste and mouthfeel which is closer to
conventional meat."
Joanna Boquist, Head of
Swedish governmental innovation agency, Vinnova, in Israel, said:
"We were privileged for the opportunity to see and taste first-hand
a trailblazing example of Israeli ingenuity in the cultured meat
sector. We were treated to a delightful hybrid chicken nugget dish
that definitely helped fuel our optimism for the future of the
alternative protein industry."
