Sallea

Born from the mission to solve one of cellular agriculture’s most overlooked challenges, sallea develops edible, high-protein scaffolds that replicate the natural environment cells need to grow into structured 3D tissue. Founded in November 2023, the ETH Zürich spin-off specializes in precision engineering that enables the scalable production of cultivated whole cuts, enhancing cost-effectiveness. sallea’s platform technology enables highly tunable scaffolds with controlled pore size, shape, and overall porosity. These structures integrate smoothly into existing production processes and can be manufactured from a wide range of food-grade materials. The result is a reliable structural foundation that supports consistent cell growth and unlocks new product formats for the industry. Our vision is straightforward. sallea is committed to more efficient and sustainable meat and fish consumption. The company is proud to be backed by the Migros-Pionierfonds, which strengthens the vision of accelerating a resilient, future-proof food system.
