3D meat bioprinter commercialization, lab-grown chicken, algae-based skis, biobased car, bioluminescent wood, and more: The Digest’s Top 8 Innovations for the week of November 12th

Maybe it’s because Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but this week’s innovations are heavy on food with a protein innovation contest crowning MycoTechnology for their mushroom-based protein production, a whopping $7 million raised for a 3D-printed cultured meat startup to commercialize its meat bioprinter, a “metabolized restaurant” concept with food produced using bacteria through fermentation or culture, and a lab-grown chicken startup SuperMeat launching a restaurant adjacent to their pilot plant.

In today’s Digest, going beyond food, there are biobased films to create wood with luminescent properties, algae-based skis, biobased “Bandit” car, and more.
