Myo Palate is a cellular agriculture company located in Toronto and focused on bringing mammalian lab-grown meat products to market. Through novel machine learning and regenerative medicine techniques, our products will replicate the natural taste and mouthfeel of traditional meat.

Steve George, CEO and Co-Founder, Terra Bio

What if we could turn our existing supply chains into circular economies without breaking the bank? Terra Bio has created a way to do just this with their upcycling platform. This platform sources local undervalued spent grains – a byproduct of beer production – to create solutions for the plant-based protein and precision fermentation industries. Find out how this team of chemical engineers and entrepreneurs is creating functional and competitive plant protein while also creating a highly sustainable feedstock for the growing fermentation industry. With just one process that can be placed anywhere in the world, this team is improving the scalability, sustainability, and circularity of existing supply chains to make environmentally friendly industrial inputs more accessible."
