Company mission
To improve human and planetary health and drive the transition to animal free agriculture.
Our take
Unicorn Biotechnologies was founded to power the cell-based manufacturing revolution by building better bioreactors. It aims to create a more sustainable, safe, and ethical food system and help fuel the transition to animal-free agriculture.
It does this by getting rid of the biomanufacturing bottleneck which prevents cultivated meat from transitioning from the lab to the supermarket. To do this, Unicorn Biotechnologies focuses on biologics, cell and gene therapies, and cultivated meat.
By using a modular system via a cloud computing architecture, Unicorn Biotechnologies can reduce production costs by up to 10 times, while its bioreactor enables new business models and new industries.
As an early-stage startup backed by Entrepreneur First and driven by a team of scientists, Unicorn Biotechnologies aims to continue to grow to help revolutionise the food industry, and in so doing help the transition to a more sustainable and ethical future.
