CellTec Systems – co-founder and scientific director
For me, the greatest invention of the last century is cell culture. I am convinced that we are only at the beginning of a development that will enable an ever broader expansion of a cell-based economy and thus give rise to completely new and environmentally friendly production processes.
CellTec Systems GmbH is a young spin-off of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and the University of Luebeck, Germany. This company combines 25 years of experience in working with cell cultures with entrepreneurial spirit. The young company is supported by the experienced investor FML Foundation and the Rittal GmbH as a leading global industrial partner.
CellTec Systems GmbH carries out innovative research and development in the field of industrial cell technology. The focus of its activities is on mass propagation processes for the production of food, diagnostics, test systems and other consumer goods.
The company has set itself the task to develop a new sustainable source of raw materials for various industrial sectors through the industrial use of renewable cell cultures. The work is based on various patent families held by CellTec Systems GmbH. These patents describe various technologies and products for the mass propagation of cells as well as for the processing of the cells obtained. These are the starting point for the production of various products with a focus on the development of cell-based food (Clean Meat) as well as cell- and protein-based test systems.
Who we are
Why we do it:
Because we need quick answers to the challenges of the future
Environmentally aware, responsible, sustainable, resource-conserving → ESG Environmental Social Governance.
With the 5th Industrial Revolution, the need for agricultural land is reducing – our technology is a decisive contribution.
Our technology enables the reduction of factory farming and the resulting antibiotic resistance.
Our technology reduces emissions of climate-damaging gases and minimizes water consumption.
