Leading Global Players Back and Fund Pluri's Cell-Based Food and Agriculture Collaborations
- Pluri entered strategic collaborations across Asia, Europe and the United States ("U.S.") to transform food and agriculture production via its subsidiaries' advanced cell expansion technologies
- Pluri's subsidiaries Ever After Foods, Kokomodo, and Coffeesai will potentially expand market presence in cultivated meat, cultivated cacao, and cell-based coffee industries amid growing global demand for scalable, sustainable solutions
- Each collaboration is anchored by a minimum-viable-product ("MVP"), funded by leading global players entering an agreement. This structure is aimed at bringing the parties' substantial commitment and trust in the collaboration's innovative potential
HAIFA, Israel, Nov. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pluri, Inc. ("Pluri", the "Company", "we" or "us") (Nasdaq, TASE: PLUR), a leading biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary platform for cell-based solutions through a collaborative network of ventures, has entered into a series of significant international collaborations across its foodtech and agtech subsidiaries. These collaborations represent a major step forward in Pluri's mission to transform food and agriculture production through its advanced 3D cell-expansion technology and scalable innovations.
Pluri's three subsidiaries, Ever After Foods Ltd. ("Ever After Foods"), Kokomodo Ltd. ("Kokomodo"), and Coffeesai Ltd. ("Coffeesai"), have signed collaboration agreements with key global food and agtech leaders in Asia, Europe, and the U.S. We believe this expansion reflects both increasing commercial viability and rising global demand for sustainable, cell-based innovations.
- Ever After Foods, developer of a proprietary cultivated-meat platform, is executing several programs across Asia and the U.S. with food companies and cultivated-meat players. These programs are advancing scale-up validation and pre-commercial trials on collaborator use cases, turning pipeline into pilot results and de-risking technical pathways. With a capital-efficient business-to-business model, Ever After Foods is positioned to scale alongside collaborators while maintaining disciplined spend. Near-term milestones include pilot results and expansion of collaborator programs in priority markets, potentially opening several go-to-market options and supporting long-term sustainability and food security.
- Kokomodo, which produces real, controlled, climate-resilient cacao using cellular agriculture technology, has signed two new strategic agreements: one agreement with a European food innovation firm that specializes in the production of confectionery, and another agreement with a U.S.-based multinational company that provides food, agriculture, financial and industrial products and services. These collaborations aim to enable Kokomodo to expand its research, development, and manufacturing capabilities while exploring co-development opportunities across Europe and North America.
- Coffeesai, which advances eco-friendly and resource-efficient coffee production through cell-based cultivation in controlled indoor environments, has entered a strategic collaboration with a major food and beverage conglomerate headquartered in East Asia. The partnership will accelerate Coffeesai's mission to deliver eco-friendly, resource-efficient cellular coffee production through cell cultivation, minimizing the environmental toll of traditional farming while simplifying complex logistics by bringing production closer to consumers.
"These collaborations represent a major leap forward in our foodtech and agtech roadmap," said Yaky Yanay, Chief Executive Officer and President of Pluri. "We believe that each collaboration not only validates the market readiness and multifaceted potential of our scalable 3D cell expansion technologies but also brings the power of world-class collaborators into our ecosystem. Together, we aim to reshape the way the world produces and consumes essential food products. We believe that the fact that every agreement includes a collaborator-funded proof-of-concept ("POC") is a clear vote of confidence in our technology and reinforces our ability to deliver sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders."
Pluri's momentum comes at a critical moment, with demand for sustainable solutions for traditional agriculture on the rise amid challenges such as warming climates, dwindling natural resources, and an increasing global population. By leveraging its proprietary 3D cell expansion platform, Pluri's technology enables rapid scaling of next-generation food and agriculture solutions with significantly reduced environmental footprints.
