Project Eaden’s Textile-Inspired Tech Raises €15M to Scale Next-Gen Whole Cuts

Berlin-based climate tech startup Project Eaden has raised €15 million in a Series A funding round to launch its plant-based meat alternatives in Europe. The company's proprietary fiber spinning technology, inspired by the textile industry, will be used to produce ultra-realistic plant-based whole cuts starting with ham, targeting mainstream consumers. The funding round was led by Planet A and REWE Group, with additional support from other investors, bringing the total capital raised to €27 million.

Project Eaden plans to scale production, expand its product portfolio, and hire talent to prepare for a retail debut in mid-2025 in Germany. The plant-based meats are created using innovative technology that replicates the muscle strands and fats of animal meat, providing a more sustainable alternative with reduced environmental impact. The company aims to lead the shift towards plant-based products that can appeal to even the most skeptical consumers, while also contributing to a more sustainable future in the food industry.
