Innocent Meat GmbH

Cultivated meat scale-up specialist (since 2020).

Innocent Meat is a biotech company based in Rostock, Germany that provides technology and biological platforms to enable existing meat producers to transition to cultured meat production. The company's primary offering is a plug-and-produce system that allows meat processors to establish in-house cultured meat production, moving away from conventional animal agriculture. This includes automated, end-to-end production systems designed for efficiency and scalability.

The company operates two core technology platforms. FABA.Bio is a molecular farming platform for large-scale production of recombinant animal proteins used in cultured meat and stem cell applications, described as a bioplant-based expression system. The cultured meat solution focuses on tissue engineering, including work on muscle and fat cell cultivation without fetal bovine serum (FBS). The company has developed recombinant protein production capabilities that enable cultured meat production from plant-based sources rather than animal-derived inputs.

Innocent Meat has secured EUR 3 million in financing and receives co-financing support from the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund. The company is supported by Universität Rostock, Germany's University of Rostock. The technology aims to produce meat without breeding, raising, or slaughtering animals, using cell cultures derived from existing cell lines once immortalized.
