This on-site event gathers top experts and actors in the field of Cellular Agriculture for food production to share the latest research results and industry news and facilitates a network for new partnerships and ideas. The event aims to also share information with decision-makers and stakeholders, especially in the EU.

The focus of this year's conference:

Bringing Cellular Agriculture to the Consumer

The 2nd International Cellular Agriculture Conference covers all fields: Microbial and algal biomass, cultivated meat and plant cell cultures, precision fermentation to produce proteins, lipids and other food ingredients, and related fields covering sustainability and regulatory aspects. This conference focuses on all the sub-categories as a joint discussion to generate new ideas and partnerships and to facilitate R&D&I.
