OUr story
With no alternative meat products offering the complete meat-eating experience in the market, our founders founded Ants Innovate in 2020 to bring affordable, high-quality alternative meats to consumers through research and innovation.
We envision a world where meat are produced without harming animals by creating alternative meat products that appeals to vegans, flexitarians and meat-lovers alike, through innovative cell and food technologies.
Inspired by the 'Ant and Lion' story, we want to build a company together in where our stakeholders (including ground-level staff and interns) can fully develop and realise everyone's potentials to innovate unhindered with minimal hierarchies, open minds and lots of mentorship. Thus, all the 'ants' are accountable to each other to develop cutting-edge technologies and translate them into functional ingredients and great food products.
