The 7th Industrializing Cultivated Meat & Seafood Summit

Event description

The 7th Industrializing Cultivated Meat & Seafood Summit is the premier gathering focused on the bioprocessing breakthroughs enabling cultivated meat and seafood to scale. This year’s summit will feature GFI Principal Scientist Elliot Swartz, Ph.D., whose research spans bioprocess design and cost modeling for cultivated meat.

Elliot will speak on the panel “R&D Innovations that Enhance Performance and Reduce Cost,” where participants will examine:

• The quantities of individual amino acids needed for large-scale cultivated meat production.
• The anticipated cost contributions of amino acids in the production process.
• Strategies to address supply constraints and explore alternative sourcing options, such as protein hydrolysates.

Elliot’s work highlights how science can remove the bottlenecks to scaling cultivated meat. By advancing open-access research and collaboration across the field, we can strengthen food security, expand consumer choice, and accelerate the shift toward a more resilient global food system.
