About
Forsea Foods is an Israeli FoodTech startup that utilizes proprietary organoid technology to cultivate seafood products, aiming to provide a sustainable alternative to traditional fishing and address overfishing. The company's technology allows fish cells to spontaneously form 3D tissue structures, bypassing the need for scaffolding and reducing the reliance on expensive growth factors. Forsea's initial product is cultivated eel meat, a species facing endangerment due to high demand. The company was founded with support from the Israeli Innovation Authority (IIA) and The Kitchen Hub.
