Scaling beef cultivation to industrial production levels
Today, we’re celebrating taking the next step in the scaling up of our facilities at Mosa Meat for the production of cultivated beef. We’re expanding to a total of 7,340 m2 facilities (77,000 sq ft.), making it the largest cultivated meat campus in the world.
Our new industrial production development centre is just a few minutes down the street from our existing pilot facility in Maastricht. After demonstrating our process at pilot scale, we are now ready for the next phase of our expansion which will house industrial-size production lines and enable us to make larger quantities of beef.
“We’ve expanded our space by 2,760 square metres in our next phase, which brings Mosa Meat’s total footprint to over 7,340 square metres (77,000 square feet),” shares Maarten Bosch, our CEO. “This makes us the largest cultivated meat campus in the world, and provides a solid foundation for our European and global commercialisation plans.”

We have grown to over 160 employees, with over 80 scientists and the largest number of PhDs in the industry in just a few years’ time. The production team has grown five-fold in the last three months to 15 members. They are working with our Bioprocess Development and Automation teams to transfer our world-class research on cultivating beef to large scale production in this space.
Simultaneously we have also expanded our footprint at existing locations, including operations at Brightlands Health Campus and our current pilot facility in Maastricht, where our R&D capacity continues to grow. Together, this brings us one step closer towards commercialisation.
We look forward to updating you on the launch of our newest industrial production development centre next year, as we continue to work towards our mission of fundamentally reshaping the global food system.
