Bremerhaven. (bm) Berlin is not only »poor but sexy«, as a former mayor said. With a bit of luck, the German capital will soon be richer by an interesting food concept: After HelloFresh and Indoor Urban Farming, now Bluu Biosciences is attracting attention. The biotech company is the first in Europe to specialize in the development and commercial production of cell-based fish. A pioneer at the intersection of biotechnology and food technology, Bluu is stepping up to produce high-quality, sustainable fish products from cell cultures. Now Bluu closed its seed funding round with seven million euros. That means Europe’s first biotech company for cell-based fish is ready to take off. Other topics of the week:
