Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH), a leading innovator in alternative proteins and 3D printing technologies, today announced that it has received its second-phase payment of USD 270,000 from the Singapore-Israel Industrial R&D Foundation (SIIRD). To date the Company has received a total of USD 490,000 from the USD 1,000,000 grant awarded to Steakholder Foods from SIIRD.
The first installment was disbursed in March 2024 following the Company’s successful production of 3D-printed hybrid fish using its proprietary Printer HD144 and Drop Location in Space (DLS)™ printing technologies. This second milestone payment was triggered by the Company’s creation of plant-based 3D-printed fish and eel. The team is moving forward with new premix blends for the second phase of the project – 3D printed eel.
The team has made great advancements in the creation of eel texture and flavor. This involves meticulous model planning, material development, premix formulation, and the final printed product. These advancements underscore Steakholder Foods’ dedication to pushing the boundaries of food technology and offering diverse, sustainable alternatives to traditional seafood.
Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods, said:
“We are thrilled to receive this second grant installment from SIIRD, which reflects our progress and commitment to advancing food technology. Our successful development of hybrid grouper fish has paved the way for new innovations, and we are excited to continue enhancing our 3D printing capabilities and premix formulations to create additional high-quality, sustainable seafood alternatives.”
