Tufts University has launched the Innovation Hub for Food and Materials, a shared R&D facility in Massachusetts providing critical pilot-scale equipment and expertise for alternative protein and biomaterials developers to accelerate product prototyping, testing, and scaling.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Foodtech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Tufts' new facility breaks costly barriers between lab innovations and commercial products for you if you develop cultivated meat or alternative proteins. This makes early-stage prototyping and sensory testing more accessible, so line up access now or risk losing your lead.
