In this video: 00:00 Introduction 00:27 About GFI Europe 02:37 Could you summarise the work of GFI Europe’s SciTech team and how you decide what to focus on? 07:59 Why is building Europe’s scientific community a focal area given the regulatory barriers and uncertain political climate? 12:38 Europe is huge and diverse: which countries or regions do you most focus on in your work and why? 18:35 How do you track and measure the success of your work in Europe? How do you know you’ve had counterfactual impact? 23:54 Companies play a key role in the alternative protein research ecosystem, does this slow down the growth of the field? 29:31 Is encouraging academics to spin out their research into a business effective or not for building the field? 31:47 GFI says recombinant proteins are a key price hurdle for cultivated meat, how are they used and why are they costly? 35:50 What could marginal funding for GFI Europe achieve with regard to your SciTech work? 41:24 Thank you!
