Asia joins the West in the alternative protein startup race

摘要

ASIA has been late in setting up presence in the plant-based alternative protein space but is now slowly waking up to the opportunities therein. So coveted are the few Asian start-ups that most of them have won investment from eager investors so far. Over a matter of three years, Asia has seen start-ups in almost every type of alternative protein that the West has: plant-based and cell-nurtured meat, cell-nurtured shrimps, insect food, and plant-based yogurt.
