Czech start-up Bene Meat Technologies is the first to win European Union registration for laboratory-grown meat for use in pet food and plans to boost production to make up to several metric tons per day next year, the company said on Wednesday.
The issue is a bit different than you seem to think (and tbh, different than I accidentally wrote earlier). Lab-grown meat needs to grow in the absence of bacteria and other foreign cells which grow a lot faster than meat cells. Hence, the issue is not capex for the tooling alone, but how to scale up sterile processes in huge vessels.
The medical stuff will get cheaper for sure if it doesn’t need all the expensive certifications, supply chain surveillance etc
