Abstract

One of the most pressing challenges facing modern society is the need to feed the growing world’s population with increasingly limited resources. Cultivated meat has the potential to mitigate precisely this challenge, while simultaneously minimizing negative externalities such as environmental destruction. Hence, our research provides a detailed analysis of the current developments in the cultivated meat industry. Specifically, we provide an in-depth comparison of the United States and the European Union entrepreneurial ecosystems of cultivated meat. The resulting empirical findings originate from the geographic mapping of ecosystem indicators, comprising (a) cultivated meat startups, (b) investors, and (c) research institutions, and from qualitative expert interviews. The evaluation of the synthesized findings indicates that the US entrepreneurial ecosystem is more mature than the EU ecosystem and thus exhibits superior performance in most ecosystem domains. However, both ecosystems face the same core challenges. These challenges comprise the need to achieve regulatory approval, cost-parity, and open access knowledge-sharing. Consequently, we provide generalizable best practices and tailored recommendations to overcome these challenges based on the implications of the systematic analysis.
美国和欧盟养殖肉类创业生态系统的系统比较
现代社会面临的最紧迫的挑战之一是需要用越来越有限的资源养活不断增长的世界人口。养殖肉类有可能缓解这一挑战,同时最大限度地减少环境破坏等负面外部性。因此,我们的研究提供了养殖肉类行业当前发展的详细分析。具体来说,我们对美国和欧盟的养殖肉类创业生态系统进行了深入的比较。由此产生的实证发现源于生态系统指标的地理映射,包括(a)养殖肉类初创企业,(b)投资者和(c)研究机构,以及定性专家访谈。综合评价结果表明,美国创业生态系统比欧盟生态系统更成熟,在大多数生态系统领域表现出更优的绩效。然而,这两个生态系统都面临着同样的核心挑战。这些挑战包括需要获得监管批准、成本平价和开放获取知识共享。因此,我们提供了可推广的最佳实践和量身定制的建议,以克服基于系统分析的影响的这些挑战。
