Meat-Tech 3D Ltd is a biotechnology company specializing in the development of cultivated meat products using advanced 3D bioprinting technology. Through its proprietary platform, the company aims to address the growing global demand for sustainable protein by producing structured meat alternatives that closely mimic the taste, texture, and nutritional profile of conventional animal-derived products. Its focus on research and development enables the creation of scalable, cost-effective cultivated meat solutions designed for food service, retail and ingredient supply chains.
At the core of Meat-Tech’s offering is a digital-to-biological converter that integrates bioinks formulated with animal cells, plant components and nutrients to print three-dimensional meat structures. This process allows for precise control over cell placement and tissue composition, resulting in realistic cuts of meat such as steaks, chicken fillets and foie gras analogues. The company also develops serum-free culture media and proprietary scaffolding materials to optimize cell growth and reduce production costs.
Founded in Israel in 2018, Meat-Tech 3D operates research and pilot production facilities in Rehovot and maintains partnerships with academic institutions and industrial collaborators across North America, Europe and Asia. The company has attracted attention for its efforts to secure regulatory approvals in multiple jurisdictions and to establish pilot plants that demonstrate the commercial viability of cultivated meat. Meat-Tech continues to expand its global footprint through licensing agreements and joint ventures aimed at accelerating large-scale production.
Meat-Tech’s leadership team combines expertise in cellular agriculture, food technology and entrepreneurial venture building. Shir Friedman serves as chief executive officer, overseeing strategic development and commercialization efforts, while Dr. Gilad Yron, the company’s chief scientific officer, leads research into novel bioconversion processes. With backing from industry investors and government grants, Meat-Tech 3D is positioned to play a key role in the emerging cultivated meat sector.
