## About Innocent Meat

Innocent Meat is a German biotechnology startup founded in 2020, focused on developing and automating cultivated meat production systems.

Headquartered in Papendorf, near Rostock, the company aims to reduce reliance on traditional animal agriculture by offering an automated, end-to-end solution for meat processors. Their initial focus is on cultivated pork, specifically minced pork, and they provide a comprehensive "Clean Meat as a Service" model. The company’s services include the deployment of an automated production system that can produce approximately 1 metric ton of minced meat per week, along with essential biological components and industrial-grade manufacturing hardware. Innocent Meat also offers AI-driven software management to optimize the production process and consulting support for conventional meat producers transitioning to cultivated meat. With significant funding secured, Innocent Meat is positioned to serve the global meat industry, enabling a seamless shift to sustainable, cell-based meat production.
