08 Feb 2021 --- Russia’s first plant-based start-up accelerator has attracted support from Europe’s meat-free proponents under the ProVeg Incubator. The program is steered by the newly-formed non-profit Association of Alternative Food Products Producers (AAFPP). Through a partnership, the two organizations are targeting companies that are developing alternatives to animal-based products. This includes start-ups developing plant-based ingredients, cultured meat and seafood, and food-tech products such as 3D bioprinting. This accelerator, based in the Moscow and Kaluga region, will be welcoming its first cohort of start-ups this spring.
