CCMeat Barley Biofarmed Growth Factors to Make Cell Cultured Meat an Affordable Reality

Coordinator: ORF GENETICS HF (IS)

ORF Genetics is a female-lead plant biotechnology company biofarming protein in barley for use in medical research, stem cell technology and skincare. Since 2001, we have produced over 50 proteins, specializing in human growth factors (GFs) which regulate the growth and development of cells. Our main focus has been on GFs for skincare use and now with our team of over 80 qualified scientists, researchers, marketers and more, we are aiming at a larger market, the cell-cultured meat (CCM) industry. The CCMeat project removes the biggest hurdle CCM producers are facing to bring their alternative…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €2.5M toward a total project budget of €3.8M — a funding rate of 66%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 2 years from 2020-10-01 to 2022-09-30.
