以色列的初创企业在促进3D印刷食品领域的发展方面继续取得了长足的进展SavorEat和肉技术3D.
Seavoreat已在特拉维夫证券交易所（Tase）（Tase）上筹集了1300万美元的首次公开募股（IPO），该公司估计该公司为5120万美元。同时，Meat-Tech 3D宣布成功地打印了一种厚实的培养牛肉结构，超过了其以前的印刷的里程碑uniform meat tissue源自干细胞。

Founded in 2018, SavorEat uses a combination of 3D printing technology and advanced cooking methods to produce plant-based alternative meats. The firm’s “robotic chef” uses 3D printing to transform a plant-based formula into cooked products that imitate the taste and texture of meat, including fat, muscle, and tissue. SavorEat’s technology also allows for the 3D printing of alternative meats with personal preferences, allergen concerns, and other genetic modifications in mind.
Afterreceiving significant investmentearlier this year, SavorEat has now gone public with its business and is listed on the TASE with a valuation of $51.2 million. The offering raised $13 million and was lead by investment firmPsagot Provident，与其他领先的以色列投资者一起Mor Gemel和Meitav Dash.
“The IPO hassome additional advantages over other investments, such as the recognition of the potential we have as a company in the local ecosystem as well as the potential of the foodtech market,” said Racheli Vizman, co-founder and CEO of SavorEat. “This brings a lot of new and growing business opportunities locally and globally, access to capital in the future and the money we raised will help us to boost our technology, product, and market penetration.”
此外,公司已经签署了一项合作reement with one of Israel’s well-known burger franchises, BBB chain. The first pilot project of its kind in Israel, the collaboration will see SavorEat work with the franchise on product development and system installation. The company will also have the opportunity to test its marketing reach throughout Europe, Asia, and the U.S.
“There have been just a very few IPO’s in TASE in the past year, being one of these few showcases the importance of the company’s activity for the local market,” Vizman continued. “I would like to add that this is the first of its kind IPO for a food-tech company in TASE, this emphasizes the general idea of how big this IPO is for SavorEat and for the Israeli market in general.”
Looking to the future, SavorEat will use the money raised from the IPO to boost its development activities, add additional pilot testing, and support the commercialization of its technology. The firm is currently seeking international partnerships, particularly in the U.S., and hopes listing on the TASE will help to develop further global collaborations.
Advancing Meat-Tech 3D’s technology
Already trading on the TASE, Meat-Tech 3D has announced the successful printing of an edible centimeter-tall cultured beef fat structure, bringing the firm one step closer to developing high-throughput 3D tissue printing technology “clean meat” tissue.
牛肉结构由牛脂肪细胞和由肉技术实验室中的干细胞开发的生物墨水组成。该公司希望及时其3D生物打印技术将包括其他组件，例如肌肉细胞，并最终有助于避免屠宰动物的肉类。
最近的肉技术closed a $7 million funding roundfor its 3D bioprinted cultured meat production technologies, shortly after filing for an IPO in the U.S. The company has also invested in cultured fat product developerPeace of Meat，它计划以1750万美元的价格完全收购。
Meat-Tech is currently working on a proprietary novel bioprinter to deposit layers of cells, scaffolding, and cell nutrients to form 3D printed cultured meat. Currently, cell lines are taken from a sample of animal umbilical cord and differentiated into inks with different cell types, such as fat and muscle. These are then bioprinted to create the meat structure, which is grown in incubators.
Israel’s 3D printed food scene
除了品尝和肉类技术3D，还有其他几家食品技术公司正在尝试3D打印替代肉类产品。
一个例子是重新定义肉, which raised $6 million in seed funding last year in order to develop itsalternative-meat 3D printer. Founded in 2018, the firm is using 3D printing to address the sustainability of the meat industry through producing plant-based meat substitutions. Earlier this year, Redefine Meat unveiled Alt-Steak, its first industrially3D印刷纯素食牛排产品，在2021年的某个时刻向市场上享用之前，将在精选的高端餐厅进行市场测试。
在该领域还活跃的是基于细胞的3D生物打印平台Aleph Farms，它直接从牛仔细胞中生长出“真实的牛排”，并在国际空间站（ISS）上有3D印刷肉。该公司目前正在与几个太空机构和技术合作伙伴讨论计划，以建立一个致力于在外星人殖民地生产肉的财团。
Aleph Farms的外部关系经理Yoav Reisler告诉3D印刷行业：“我们正在与全球空间代理商合作，并建立了一个合作财团，用于在太空中耕种肉类生产的长期研发合同。这些合同的目标是在火星或月球等地球外行星上也建造局部生物臂。
“They are about building the infrastructure for deep-space exploration and for a self-sustaining human colony in space: with local food production operations, local food economy and unconditional supply of nutritious food.”
