Omeat, a leader in large-scale cultivated meat production, is introducing Evergreen as its new identity. This change reflects a strategy to move cultivated meat from a niche consumer product to a reliable solution that supports the existing beef supply chain. In a market affected by price changes, supply disruptions, and uncertain forecasts, Evergreen focuses on one key goal: providing stability.
Evergreen is partnering with meat distributors in the United States and Singapore to launch blended ground beef products. The company is also making substantial progress in regulatory approvals in both regions. Evergreen believes real improvement in food systems comes from consistent, reliable performance rather than significant disruption.
While many cultivated meat companies focus on disruption and future potential, Evergreen is taking a different approach. The company prioritises consistency, strong operations, and working with established meat producers instead of replacing them. Its cultivated beef platform is built to integrate with existing production systems through blended products that help partners reduce market volatility, maintain stable pricing, and plan more reliably.
“The biggest challenge in animal protein supply isn’t innovation, it’s predictability,” said Jim Miller, President and CEO of Evergreen. “At Evergreen, our focus is stability. We built the company around strong consistency—quality, cost, taste, texture, and execution—because consistency helps build trust and creates new opportunities.”
“Evergreen will supply fresh, 100% beef to meat producers and work with them to deliver it to consumers,” Miller said. “Our goal is to improve how beef is supplied. By providing reliable quality and pricing at scale, we help partners build stronger supply chains and keep beef affordable for consumers.”
“At a time when funding has been very selective, Evergreen stood out for its strong operations, focus on regulations, and clear plan to enter the market,” said Kevin Lo, Partner at S2G Investments. “By focusing on partnerships, the company has positioned cultivated beef as a practical way to support and strengthen the existing beef supply chain.”
“We make beef for beef lovers and meat processors without replacing it with plant-based proteins,” said Eric Schulze, PhD, Chief Scientific and Technology Officer. “At Evergreen, we work with ranchers and meat producers to create great-tasting meat products at the quality, volume, and price customers expect.”
By focusing on execution, Evergreen is turning cultivated meat from an idea into a practical, scalable solution.
