About FoodLabs and our Mission

We are on the brink of a food revolution where farmers transition from plowing fields to operating bioreactors in order to produce the calories our growing population requires. Technological advancements like genetic modification, cell-free SynBio, new computational models, and cell culture innovations drive this revolution. With improved processes and enhanced infrastructure, we will see products like cell-based beef or mycelium-based pork reach cost parity with their animal equivalents - thereby affecting the lives of billions.

At FoodLabs, we have spent the last half-decade building and backing companies that have challenged the status quo in the food industry while stretching the imagination of consumers. Our portfolio includes companies such as Formo (animal-free dairy), Infarm (large-scale vertical farming), and Meatable (cell-based beef). Despite these exciting innovations, there is still a long way to go. With the pandemic dragging on and the war in Ukraine continues to rage, the constraints in our supply chain have become evident. The United Nations expects the number of people with insufficient access to food to soar from 440Mn to 1.6Bn. Equivalently, global food production corresponds to 13.7Bn metric tons of CO2 emissions, representing 26% of man-made emissions. We see it as our mission at FoodLabs to find innovative solutions that can make our production more efficient and sustainable.
