ABOUT
our story
our story is about seizing opportunities!
Once upon a time, Fred Grimaud, a French serial-entrepreneur within the agri and biotech sectors, was trying to step back and think about the future.
He had this vision of transferring proven technologies from his current businesses to the food market.
He asked a scientist to explore his new idea…. and a few month later, with his friend Etienne Duthoit, they tasted the very first samples of cultivated chicken.
“OH MY!” the sample was so close in taste to real chicken! They agreed right away to create a company -Vital Meat- that would be a tech platform for any cultivated product.
Ambition
our goal for the future
Become the tech-platform leader for cULTIVATED products.
Our ambition is deeply rooted in our mission to help reverse climate change. Given that the meat demand is very varied, we want to propose cultivated alternatives for every type of meat and seafood, starting with chicken.

what’s on our plate ?
Chicken, pork, fish… you NAME IT!
We are starting with a delicious cultivated chicken that tastes exactly like chicken, because it is chicken!
And because it is chicken….it also has all the great nutritional values that come with it: 9 essential amino-acids, B12, iron…
Spoiler alert! In the near future we will offer white fish and pork… stay tuned!
