CULT Food Science Joins New Harvest in Launching "Open Cell Ag" Cellular Agriculture Network of Excellence

an innovative investment platform with an exclusive focus on cellular agriculture that is advancing the development of novel technologies to provide a sustainable, environmental, and ethical solution to the global factory farming and aquaculture crises, is pleased to announce the launch of "Open Cell Ag" as a cellular agriculture network of excellence ("Network of Excellence") in collaboration with New Harvest and other partners to advance foundational knowledge for the cellular agriculture industry.

This first of its kind Network of Excellence is focused on defining, exploring and sharing foundational infrastructure and methods for the global cellular agriculture space. The Network of Excellence will gather and manage projects and partners who can support the execution and advise the creation of foundational cellular agriculture infrastructure, methods and knowledge to be shared globally with the goal of accelerating the development of the industry.

Together, New Harvest, CULT, and other partners will identify key opportunities to develop knowledge for the field from a long-term perspective (e.g., infrastructures, supply chains, safety). The launch of the Network of Excellence coincides with the start of its first project, the development of a Cell Bank to provide a common solution to some of the basic infrastructure challenges that new cellular agriculture groups may face. More projects will be announced as Open Cell Ag progresses.
