18 September 2024: The APAC Society for Cellular Agriculture is thrilled to welcome Meatable as our newest member as of September 2024. Meatable is a leading cultivated meat company based in the Netherlands and has expanded their presence into the Asian market over the past few years..
Aaron Yeo, General Manager of Meatable’s Singapore Operations has been appointed as the new member representative to APAC-SCA. As a company, Meatable has showcased unprecedented progress in the production time of their cultivated pork sausages with turnover of only four days — 60 times faster than the time it takes to rear a pig for pork on a traditional farm. Their development and readiness to market positions Meatable as an excellent candidate for near-term regulatory approvals in various markets, including Singapore.
“We're thrilled to have Meatable joining APAC-SCA and our joint effort to develop the cultivated food industry further regionally. Meatable's strong footprint in the field will undoubtedly be a great asset to various of programs encompassing the scope of regulatory coordination, ecosystem building, and public perception. APAC-SCA is looking forward to the years ahead of collective collaboration and industry progression.”
– Peter Yu, Program Director APAC Society for Cellular Agriculture
