IntegriCulture CulNet Cellular Agriculture Platform

IntegriCulture is a Japanese cellular agriculture infrastructure company established in October 2015 and headquartered in Tokyo. Its mission is the democratisation of cellular agriculture: producing meat, fat and other agricultural products from cultured cells rather than live animals, which requires low-cost culture media, equipment and production know-how.

Its CulNet system and CulNet Consortium bring together suppliers of chemicals, materials, engineering and logistics to build the cellular agriculture supply chain. The company sells cell culture consumables and equipment through Ocatte Base, runs contract research, development and manufacturing through CulNet PiPELiNE, and supplies cell-cultured cosmetic and nutraceutical ingredients under the Cellag brand. Clients include food companies, materials suppliers and cosmetics makers.

• CulNet system: low-cost cell culture system for cultured food production.
• CulNet Consortium: open innovation platform for suppliers entering the cellular agriculture supply chain.
• Ocatte Base: marketplace for cell culture materials and equipment.
• CulNet PiPELiNE: contract-based R&D and scale-up for novel cellular agriculture products.
• Cellag: cell-cultured ingredients and OEM/ODM for cosmetics and supplements.
• Food-grade media: basal medium I-MEM 1.0 used in production demonstrations.

• Vietnamese seafood processors exploring cell-cultured surimi or fish products with a contract R&D partner.
• Cosmetics companies adding cell-cultured active ingredients through OEM/ODM.
• Chemical and materials suppliers in Vietnam joining the cellular agriculture supply chain.

• Lower production cost: the Oxy-thru Cultivator bag produces 1 kg per month per bag without external oxygen injection.
• Lower capex risk: a scale-out model avoids the large investment of big bioreactors.
• Commercial track record: the company reported full-year profitability for FY2025.
• Ecosystem access: the CulNet Consortium links partners across chemicals, materials, engineering and logistics.

Cultivated meat is moving from prototypes to regulatory filings, with Singapore as the leading approval market in Asia. High costs of culture media and bioreactors remain the main barrier, so food and materials companies are looking for cheaper infrastructure and contract partners to enter the field.
