Black & Veatch has teamed up with Shiok Meats in the design and construction of its research and development facility for cultivated seafood. The Shiok Meats Mini Plant, which is the first of its kind in the region, was officially opened by Singapore’s Minister for Sustainability Ms. Grace Fu. The mini plant will help address food security in the region by boosting production of alternative seafood protein.

“Building the Mini Plant is a big milestone for us. Our production facility, which is due in the next 18 months, will be an extension of this Mini Plant in terms of engineering design and foundation. This new facility allows us to scale the cultivated seafood production gradually and strategically to ensure a comprehensive manufacturing model and top-notch products,” said Dr. Sandhya Sriram, Group CEO & Co-founder, Shiok Meats.

We’re excited to support Shiok Meats in their scale-up efforts to create better and more sustainable food by leveraging biotechnology to enhance global food security.”
