ORF Genetics and Cellmeat Host “First Cultivated Shellfish Tasting Outside Asia” in Iceland

ORF Genetics and Cellmeat recently hosted the first cultivated shellfish tasting outside Asia in Iceland. The event, held at the Iceland Ocean Cluster, featured dishes prepared by a South Korean chef and was attended by prominent figures such as the First Gentleman of Iceland and the Minister of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries. The collaboration aims to make cultivated seafood economically viable with the use of high-performance growth factors developed by ORF Genetics.

Cellmeat, a South Korean startup, has been working on cultivated shellfish since 2019 and recently raised significant funding for large-scale production. The company's CEO is excited about introducing their products in Iceland and looks forward to further collaboration with ORF Genetics. Iceland's innovative policies and advanced technology make it an ideal location for developing sustainable alternatives in the food industry, aligning well with Cellmeat's vision for the future of food production.
