Structure | APAC Society for Cellular Agriculture

Message from APAC-SCA President

The cellular agriculture industry has gone through a significant period of recalibration over the past year. While challenging, I believe this has strengthened our industry. Companies are now more disciplined in their investments, focusing on technologies and business models that can achieve commercial success and long-term sustainability. I remain highly confident in the future of cellular agriculture product based on the current progress of the industry.

As President of APAC-SCA, my vision is to strengthen regional collaboration and create more opportunities for our members to connect, share knowledge, and grow together. By working collectively, we can accelerate the commercialisation of safe, affordable, and sustainable cellular agriculture products and help build a more resilient global food system.

I would like to thank all our members and partners for your continued support and commitment. I look forward to working with all of you as we shape the future of food together.
