We have a rich history in cellular agriculture and are a global leader in biotechnology, alternative proteins and food innovation. Supported by this visionary leadership that the Dutch government is showing again today, we will expand our team in the coming months and roll out the first activities around public research, scaling up, and education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the Netherlands has been demonstrating considerable progress in developing cultured meat. In July, for example, Dutch company Meatable revealed its first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.futuretimeline.net\/blog\/2022\/07\/25-lab-grown-sausages-2025.htm\" target=\"_blank\">lab-grown sausages<\/a>, which are expected to go on sale to consumers by 2025.
