Finland sets sights on €1 billion cellular agriculture boom
Plus, Berlin’s new government pledges support for alternative proteins, Spain launches Agrifoodtech Sandbox to fast-track innovation in food and agriculture, UK report outlines barriers and uncertainties facing cultivated meat sector, and more!
This week, we begin in the Nordics, where a forward-looking national strategy sets out a clear path to unlock a €1 billion (US$1.06 billion) cellular agriculture export market. With coordinated action across regulation, research, and investment, it could place this country at the heart of Europe’s future food system.
Staying on the theme of resilience, one ingredients specialist has developed a wheat-based egg replacer to support bakers grappling with a stubborn supply chain crisis. It’s a timely solution that also taps into broader demand for cost-effective, plant-based functionality.
Elsewhere in Europe, Berlin’s new coalition government has pledged support for the alternative protein space, signaling a potentially stronger political framework for innovation in Germany’s capital.
The protein diversification story continues with the opening of a new pulse processing plant designed to scale more sustainable production from farm to factory. It’s a boost for ingredient innovation and local value chains alike.
Meanwhile, a national policy ambition has been outlined to position one country as a global biotechnology leader by 2040. With the right conditions in place, this could reshape how the world views European leadership in food and agtech.
Over in Southern Europe, regulators are experimenting with a different approach—introducing a sandbox to fast-track food and agriculture innovation. Could this flexible framework help new technologies reach the market faster?
And finally, a well-known founder is back with a fresh venture, this time aiming to bring fungi-based foods straight to consumers. With growing interest in fermentation-based products, this D2C move is one to watch.
