Assessment and outreach to CDMOs in the alternative protein space

Upon completing the conceptual design study for a cultivated meat facility, our client sought assistance in assessing the capabilities of existing Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMOs) in the cultivated meat, fermentation, and plant-based dairy sectors. They also expressed interest in contacting these organizations to explore potential partnerships and arrange facility visits.

Our study encompassed a comprehensive overview of the CDMO landscape in the alternative protein space, which includes cultured meat, fermentation, and plant-based dairy. 

To equip our client with a detailed understanding, we leveraged open sources, our network of over 2,200 alternative protein experts, and held dialogues with more than 30 CDMOs to gain deeper insights into their business models, focus areas, and key capabilities. 

We provided a comprehensive report detailing the backgrounds, services, facilities, and capabilities of the 10 shortlisted organizations. These entities were introduced to our client for possible future collaboration opportunities. Furthermore, we crafted a questionnaire to guide potential visits to these facilities and outlined a visit agenda.
