Discussing The Vegan/Alternative Meat Industry In APAC With Better Bite VC

There is no more important region than Asia when it comes to alt protein impact and opportunity. The region is already the largest consumer of animal products but also the fastest-growing, driven by a rapidly expanding middle class. The event will cover the Asia Pacific landscape and activity, both from startup, innovation and investment/funding angles and share the experience of investing in the region.

Interesting facts:

• The first country in the world to approve the sale of cultivated meat is in Asia (Singapore)
• More than half the pigs on the planet are in China
• Plant-based retail sales jumped 46% in the last year in Australia
• Asia is the fastest-growing region in startup investment

Speakers are Michal Klar and Simon Newstead from Better Bite VC, early stage investors in Asia Pacific alt protein. Based in the region, they have backed Change Foods, Shiok Meats, NextGen, Fable, Fenn Foods, Hello Friend Foods and Green Butcher among others. Both are long-term vegans and passionate about education and community building. Michal runs the Future Food Now newsletter and Simon runs the Vegan Startup Podcast.
