ImpacFat Turns to AI Ingredient Discovery to Lower the Cost of Cultivated Fish Fat

Singaporean cultivated fish fat producer ImpacFat has partnered with Malaysian AI biotech company M3TRIQ to leverage AI technology in order to reduce production costs and increase yields in its cell culture process. M3TRIQ will utilize its molecular and ingredient discovery workflow to identify inputs that enhance the efficiency and cost profile of ImpacFat's cell culture method, with a focus on reducing the expenses associated with cell culture media.

ImpacFat, a spin-off of Singapore's A*STAR, produces omega-3 rich ingredients from fish stem cells for various industries. The collaboration with M3TRIQ aims to not only benefit cultivated fish fat production but also other biomanufacturing settings, potentially leading to a more resource-efficient bioeconomy in Asia. This partnership reflects a trend among cultivated protein companies leveraging AI technologies to improve production economics and expand into different sectors such as cosmetics and health ingredients.
