The funding brings together leading global investors who are dedicated to sustainability, and to supporting Mosa Meat in its mission to develop a cleaner, kinder way of making real beef. These include Blue Horizon Ventures, Target Global, ArcTern Ventures and Rubio Impact Ventures.
Mitsubishi Corporation, Japan, the global integrated business enterprise that develops and operates businesses together with its offices and subsidiaries in approximately 90 countries and regions worldwide, as well as a global network of around 1,700 group companies, also invested in the round.“We are delighted to welcome our new partners,” said Maarten Bosch, CEO of Mosa Meat. “As well as bringing immense strategic capabilities and expertise, they share our strong commitment to increasing the sustainability of our global food system”.
Mosa Meat will use the funds to extend its current pilot production facility at its home in Maastricht, develop an industrial-sized production line, expand its team, and introduce delicious cultivated beef to consumers.
The Series B funding round is led by Luxembourg-based Blue Horizon Ventures, the food technology fund that aims to support and promote a positive global impact on the environment, human health, and animal welfare.
Mosa Meat welcomes this strong group of mission-aligned investors only two years after its successful Series A funding, which was led by M Ventures and Bell Food Group.
