ABOUT US
BioMeat is focused on investing in and supporting unique R&D companies in the FoodTech industry.
What is FoodTech?
Changes are happening in the food industry; the animal products we eat today may no longer be relevant tomorrow.
With rising population rates and an increased demand for animal protein, prices have risen and the production chain is no longer a sustainable, reliable, source of meat. Enter FoodTech, an industry which meat substitutes and alternative proteins.
As consumers demand increased transparency in the ingredients, processes, and ethics of food manufacturers, many consumers are becoming aware of the problems inherent in factory meat. These problems include, but are not limited to, the environmental impacts caused by the meat industry, which are expected only to increase as the world’s population expands.
Reflecting this shift, investments in FoodTech companies reached $18.5 billion in 2019, mostly in early-stage companies. This number is expected to grow aggressively, reaching $40 billion by 2026 – a sign indicating that the industry is still in its early stages and signaling enormous opportunity for investors.
What is BioMeat?
With an emphasis on companies which develop meat substitutes and alternative proteins, BioMeat is focused on investing in and supporting unique R&D companies in the FoodTech industry.
We are a publicly traded investment fund.
Our experienced management team and unique partnership with the Solbar Food Technologies, a leading Israeli industrial player in the plant protein industry, position BioMeat as a uniquely influential company in the field.
