Mewery began with a simple conviction: future protein should not depend on raising and slaughtering more animals. The work since then has been to make an alternative technically and industrially credible.

Roman’s story
While helping build Future Port Prague, Roman Lauš spent years around emerging technologies and the people turning them into companies. Alternative proteins stood out: a field where biology, food security and animal welfare met.
After mapping the market with scientists and cultivated-meat companies, Roman assembled a scientific team, began collaboration with Czech research institutions and built Mewery’s laboratory base in Brno. The original wish—to offer protein without slaughter—became a company focused on the harder question: how to produce it at scale.

Market mapping, scientific network and the first R&D programme take shape in Brno.
Mewery produces its first prototype and secures pre-seed backing.
Animal cells and microalgae are brought together as one technology direction.
A stable porcine cell platform strengthens reproducibility and ownership.
Suspension-adapted cells, FBS-free media and the 200 L R&D facility move the platform towards scale-up.
A major biomass-yield milestone supports the next stage of process validation and industrial transfer.
Our vision
We innovate beyond today’s food system limits — space, time and nutrition — to create healthier, more nourishing choices.
Food should let you live according to your values, health and lifestyle. We create satisfying choices without compromise or guilt.
We are building a way to meet the world’s need for nourishing food while being kinder to every sentient being.

Who has our back
The project Leveraging microalgae to make meat cultivation scalable is co-financed with the state support of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic within the SIGMA Programme.
Within the EIC Accelerator, Mewery was awarded the Seal of Excellence — a European Commission quality label recognising high-quality proposals that meet the programme’s rigorous evaluation criteria. This recognition subsequently enabled Mewery to secure local funding through the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TACR).

The project Mewery Expansion to Switzerland is funded by the European Union. The aim of the project is to prepare for Mewery’s international expansion and related activities.

This project was implemented with the financial support of the Technology Incubation Programme.
The Mewery s.r.o. Innovation Voucher project, CZ.01.1.02/0.0/0.0/20_358/0027734, is co-financed by the European Union.
