Cellular agriculture provides diverse opportunities for future food production
Webinar recording topics:
- This presentation will open up how biotechnology can be used for food production. The different elements of cellular agriculture will be defined, including microbial and algal biomass, cultivated meat and plant cell cultures, as well as precision fermentation to produce proteins, lipids and other food ingredients. The opportunities and barriers of cellular agriculture are discussed as part of the presentation.

Interview: Lauri Reuter, one of the founders of Nordic FoodTech Venture Capital
(Recorded on 22.3.2022)
In our interview we touched on many topics starting from the history of growing food. Lauri had a fresh perspective on food innovations from GMOs to the types of products we will be able to buy in grocery stores in 2040.

Interview: The CTO of Solar Foods, Juha-Pekka Pitkänen
(Recorded on 30.6.2021)
Dr. Juha-Pekka Pitkänen is the CTO and co-founder of Solar Foods, a company that makes "food out of thin air". The man who considers himself “more of an academic plumber than a scientist”, he is the mind behind a revolutionary bioprocess that makes a microorganism-based protein called Solein using air and electricity as its feed. Taking research from the lab to the market has been a feature of JP's career. We discussed about launching a novel food, the future of food tech and JP's story.
