Believer Meats

Cultivated meat is meat grown directly from animal cells. But how, you may wonder? We're here to walk you through it, step by step. Join us on a journey as we unravel the entire process of making our cultivated meat, starting from a final chicken dinner and working our way backwards until we reach the very source: a living, breathing animal. Because at Believer Meats, we're going back to the source, for the future we crave.

We are excited to announce that Believer Meats has formed a strategic partnership with GEA Group, a global leader in food production technology. This collaboration marks a significant step in advancing our efforts to scale up cultivated meat production efficiently and sustainably. Together, we will optimize processes and co-develop innovative technologies, ultimately lowering production costs and making cultivated meat more accessible to all.

Believer Meats is proud to partner with the first-ever Bezos Center for Sustainable Protein at North Carolina State University, supported by a $30 million grant from Bezos Earth Fund, to advance alternative protein production and commercialization. The time is now: Global demand for protein projected to double by 2050, and we need new solutions to bridge the gap in supply and demand. That's where our work comes in. North Carolina is well-positioned to lead this next chapter in alternative protein, supported by our commercial-scale cultivated meat facility in Wilson set to be operational by the end of 2024. Together, we’re helping to shape a more robust and resilient global food system.

Cultivated meat is the next big breakthrough in food technology, just like the electric car was in transportation. In Norway, electric cars transitioned from representing 2% of total purchases to over 70% within a decade. In the U.S., that figure, once less than 1%, is now approaching 10%. How did it happen? Technology, investment, visionary entrepreneurs, a shift in climate consciousness, time, and supportive policies—all aligning at the right moment. The vision of electric cars was a long-standing dream, but affordability was a gradual two-decade journey. Today, electric cars are accessible to a broader segment of the public. We believe that the cultivated meat industry's trajectory will be even swifter. Our company remains committed to offering products that not only meet but exceed consumer expectations, fulfilling all sensory aspects that consumers desire. It began as a bold, seemingly insane idea, but it's now embraced. We're on the brink of a future where new choices will grace your plate. We'll look back at today's meat landscape as we do at horse-drawn buggies—once practical, but now joined by innovative alternatives.
