Establishment of the “Consortium for Future Innovation by Cultured Meat”

Collaboration among five parties: Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, Shimadzu Corporation, Itoham Yonekyu Holdings Inc., and Toppan Inc.

SIGMAXYZ, together with the Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, Shimadzu Corporation, Itoham Yonekyu Holdings Inc., and Toppan Inc. established the “Consortium for Future Innovation by Cultured Meat” in March 2023.

The consortium focuses on concrete initiatives for practical implementation of the manufacturing technology of edible cultured meat using 3D bioprinting. Through cross-company collaboration, we will carry on developing 3D bioprinting technology for application, establishing an integrated value chain from production to marketing, and contributing to legislation through collaboration with government offices and various companies.

We aim to become a world leader of cultured meat through the dissemination of information, including exhibiting at the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka, Kansai.
