S.Korean startup accelerator D.Camp invited cleantech startups to this month’s demo day held jointly with UNIDO
Simple Planet, a South Korean biotech startup developing sustainable food technologies, has won this month’s startup pitch day held jointly by D.Camp and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Korena startup accelerator said on Friday.
The Korea biotech startup produces cell-based food ingredients, using its proprietary cell culture and stem cell platform technologies. Its mainstay products are cultivated meat powder and cultivated unsaturated fat, according to D.Camp.
Using stem cell isolation technology, it separates stem and primary cells from livestock like cows, pigs and chickens. The company has already secured 13 different cell lines to produce different kinds of animal proteins and fats.
Its serum-free culture medium, which can replace expensive fetal bovine serum in culture medium production, is credited for cutting the cost of producing cultivated meat.
