Dutch startup Meatable has raised €9M in a seed round that will allow the company to host a tasting of its first prototype of lab-grown pork by summer 2020. The fundraising was led by the German VC BlueYard Capital, which had participated in Meatable’s previous €3M round last year. Meatable is developing a method to grow meat from a single animal cell. By taking animals out of the equation, this ‘cultivated’ meat could contribute to animal welfare while reducing greenhouse emissions, and land and water use. Source: Labiotech 6/12/2019
