Cultivate at Scale BV
Open-access European scale-up centre for cell-culture innovation (cultivated meat, dairy and beyond), spun out of Mosa Meat in 2024 with Dutch National Growth Fund backing.
Mosa Meat is a food technology company based in Maastricht, Netherlands (registered KvK: 66104742). The company grows beef by cultivating bovine cells from small tissue samples, developing them into muscle tissue without animal harm. The process mirrors natural muscle growth in cattle, with each small cell sample capable of yielding up to 80,000 burgers. The company grows its beef through cell nurturing and natural developmental processes, producing real beef that retains the sensory properties of conventional beef, including fat and juices. Mosa Meat holds B Corp certification and has secured significant funding, including a recent €15 million investment, while achieving cost parity milestones in its production process. The company offers its technology and products through partnership models.
