"Fish is an increasingly prevalent subject of focus in alt-proteins due to challenges with traditional fish sourcing, including dwindling fisheries and health considerations such as heavy metals & microplastics. "Hong Kong-based Avant Meats is the first cultivated meat company in China. The company is building R&D and pilot manufacturing facilities in Singapore. "It partnered with the Bioprocessing Technology Institute under Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) to scale production and commercialize cultivated protein. "Singapore has provided foodtech companies with resources and a favorable regulatory environment, attracting an increasing number of alt-protein startups."   Alex Frederick Senior Emerging Technology Analyst Foodtech & Agtech   In the News   Our insights and data featured in the press: "Cultivated protein start-ups face headwinds, including murky regulatory processes in many countries, technology challenges limiting commercial-scale production and high manufacturing costs."
