3D Bio-Tissues and SeaWith have announced a partnership that will see the latter brand leveraging the capabilities of the former to help scale its cultivated beef production. The partnership will see SeaWith utilizing City-Mix from 3D Bio-Tissues to help improve cell growth and density, while also reducing the reliance on expensive growth media. This will reportedly cut growth media costs by as much as 30%, which will help to lower overall production costs and help to scale the brand's cultivated meat manufacturing.
CTO and Co-Founder of SeaWith Heejae Lee spoke on the partnership with 3D Bio-Tissues saying, "As Korea’s designated Regulatory Free Zone operator for cultivated meat, we are pleased to partner with an industry leader like 3D Bio-Tissues as we move toward regulatory approval. City-Mix® technology aligns exceptionally well with our high-performing Hanwoo-derived muscle stem cells, supporting both robustness and scalability in our production process."
