Market Alert: New Report Highlights Steakholder Foods Major Shift to Commercialization & Revenue Generation

Global Markets News

A new report by PESG Research highlights Steakholder Foods’ (NASDAQ: STKH) transformative journey from research and development to commercialization in the alternative protein and 3D food printing sectors. The report highlights how 2024 marked a pivotal year for the company, with strategic partnerships fueling revenue generation and positioning Steakholder Foods for potential growth in a booming market. Strategic Partnerships Lay Foundation for Revenue Growth Steakholder Foods secured multiple strategic agreements in 2024 that validate its proprietary technology and solidify its commercial potential. Key partnerships include a commercial memorandum of understanding with Wyler Farm, which involves the purchase of Steakholder Foods’ MX200 meat printer and SH™-Beef premix blends. This agreement also encompasses royalties and raw materials supply, enabling large-scale production of alternative proteins. Additional partnerships with the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan and regional collaborations in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) highlight the company’s international reach. The GCC partnership, aimed at supporting local food security initiatives, involves constructing a pilot facility for hybrid-cultivated fish production and showcases Steakholder Foods’ scalability in new markets. These agreements are seen as significant steps toward establishing long-term, recurring revenue streams. Initial Purchase Orders Signal Commercial Viability According to the company, initial purchase orders from key partners such as Bondor Foods and Wyler Farm have initiated revenue streams, providing critical proof of concept for Steakholder Foods’ business model. In September 2024, Bondor Foods placed its first order for plant-based premixes for white fish and salmon patties, followed by Wyler Farm’s order for SH™-Beef premix for a new line of plant-based meat products. These initial revenues underscore the company’s successful transition from R&D to commercialization. Moreover, in a bid to attract new clients and partners, Steakholder Foods inaugurated a state-of-the-art Demonstration Center in Israel. The facility showcases live demonstrations of its MX200 and HD144 3D printers, highlighting their capabilities in real-time production of plant-based meat and seafood alternatives. This hands-on experience allows potential partners to witness the full production process, reinforcing the quality and versatility of Steakholder Foods’ offerings. Positioned for Potential Growth in Expanding Markets The PESG report places Steakholder Foods within the context of a rapidly expanding alternative protein market, projected to grow from $76.3 billion in 2023 to $423 billion by 2033. This growth is driven by consumer interest in sustainable and health-conscious food options. Additionally, the 3D food printing market is expected to surge, with estimates forecasting growth from USD 34.7 million in 2019 to USD 1,015.4 million by 2027, driven by advances in technology and consumer demand for innovative food solutions. The report highlights how Steakholder Foods’ advancements potentially align with these industry trends, positioning the company as a potential leader in sustainable food production. Its proprietary 3D printing technology and strategic partnerships are poised to capture a share of this growing demand, particularly as cost management initiatives and recurring revenues take effect. Outlook and Future Prospects With strategic partnerships maturing and a demonstration center enhancing its market presence, Steakholder Foods appears poised for potential revenue growth in the coming years. The company has noted that it is in advanced discussions for a high-impact international agreement expected to close by early 2025. This move could further bolster Steakholder Foods’ position as a leader in the alternative protein sector, which continues to gain momentum amid shifting consumer preferences and sustainability goals.

Crossroads Summit Taps Leading AI Expert Pascal Bornet For November Event To Offer Insights On Tackling Chaos Caused By Disruptive Innovation

Benzinga

By Anthony Termini, Benzinga The 2024 Crossroads Summit is less than a month away – get your tickets for this event that promises important insights! When Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an executive outplacement firm, began tracking the effect AI was having on labor markets, it noted that it was “ no longer a just threat on the horizon.” One of America’s leading authorities on hyperautomation, a combination of robotic process automation (RPA) and AI, agrees that the future is almost here – but it doesn’t have to mean jobs are threatened. Will The Risks Of AI Outweigh Its Rewards According to award-winning expert Pascal Bornet, “algorithms are to white-collar workers what tractors were to farmers.” Bornet should know. He is a recognized thought leader on the subjects of RPA and AI. Bornet is the author of the best-selling book “Intelligent Automation” and is ranked as one of the top 10 global experts in AI and Automation. He was named the Global Top Voice in Tech in 2019 and the number one Global Thought Leader in RPA in 2020. In 2022, Bornet was named one of the 50 most powerful AI influencers, and in 2023, he was named a top 50 global thought leader and influencer on AI. He is currently among the top 25 AI Influencers to follow in 2024. Bornet is a senior executive with more than 20 years of experience in digital transformation. He founded and led the “AI and Automation” practices at McKinsey & Company and Ernst & Young (EY) and is currently on the leadership team of Mountain View, California-based software innovator Aera Technology. Published in Forbes, Bloomberg, The World Economic Forum, McKinsey Quarterly, The Times, Japan Times, Business Times, AI Magazine and CIO Advisors, Bornet is a member of the Forbes Technology Council, a Senior Advisor for the Institute of Robotic, Automation and Artificial Intelligence (IRPAAI), and a senior advisor and board member to several startup enterprises and nonprofits. Bornet notes that RPA and AI are tools that “dramatically increase the productivity of each worker, and thus shrink the total number of workers required to produce the same output.” But he also points out that “as some work activities are displaced, new ones, more fulfilling and value-adding, arise.” This dichotomy between the potential risks and opportunities created by hyperautomation will be among the subjects Bornet addresses as a keynote speaker at the upcoming Crossroads Summit to be held on November 21 st and 22 nd in Miami, Florida. Why Investors And Business Leaders Are Attending The Crossroads Summit Even as hyperautomation often presents contrasting paths leading to potential risks and opportunities, the Crossroads Summit, sponsored by TradeStation Group, offers leaders a vision into the broader theme of juxtaposing potential risks against possible opportunities that could emerge from a rapidly changing world. Apart from disruptions related to technology, like the rise of AI and decentralized currencies, economic uncertainty defined by the end of near-zero interest rates and stubborn inflation pressure exists in a world where regional conflict and global tension remain in daily headlines. Yet emerging from each of these unsettling challenges could be unexpected investment opportunities. In the United States alone, every change in the federal government’s stance on regulating businesses and fiscal and monetary policy brings the potential for new investable products to emerge. The Crossroads Summit was created to provide business leaders and investors with an opportunity to hear from – and mingle with – some of the most respected authorities in disciplines including economics and political science, history and demographics and technology and automation. The Crossroads Summit could be a catalyst for uncovering opportunities for many, a place to forge new connections and a chance to redefine your future investments. TradeStation Group Is A Title Sponsor Of The Crossroads Summit TradeStation Group is an integral member of the Crossroads Summit ecosystem. The firm brings expertise, resources and opportunities that enrich the summit experience and empower attendees to thrive amid uncertainty. Supporting both sophisticated traders and institutions, TradeStation Group, through its operating subsidiaries, offers trading and brokerage solutions, award-winning trading software, modern analytics tools and extensive customization, as well as a private brokerage service to qualified clients. TradeStation Group’s sponsorship of the Summit appropriately dovetails its capabilities with the needs of attendees, as does the presence of leading experts such as Pascal Bornet.

MYBUNDLE BLACK FRIDAY INDUSTRY INITIATIVE DELIVERS STREAMING TV DEALS AND SPENDING POWER TO MILLIONS OF HOLIDAY SHOPPERS

MyBundle

MyBundle, the leading platform connecting consumers, streaming services and broadband providers with tools to simplify streaming television, shared details of a new Black Friday industry program. The program leverages MyBundle’s unique channel of big and small broadband provider partners around the country to give streaming services and their Black Friday deals unprecedented exposure and context. MyBundle partners with a growing network of more than 270 broadband providers that collectively serve more than 13.5 million internet customers. These customers look to their broadband providers for guidance on streaming TV services and often, free credits toward streaming TV bundled with their internet service. In turn, broadband providers look to MyBundle to provide marketing resources, expertise and a vehicle for providing those credits. The MyBundle Black Friday program capitalizes on these relationships with two key components. First, MyBundle will publish all Black Friday streaming deals the moment they go live at mybundle.tv/pages/black-friday, which instantly syndicates across the sites of the MyBundle broadband partner network. Second, MyBundle is giving those partners everything they need - from marketing materials to customer emails to a co-branded site where customers receive their MyBundle streaming payment cards - to offer their own Black Friday streaming TV promotions. For example, order internet service and get $100 in streaming credits to spend on Black Friday deals or upgrade your internet service and get $15/month for the next six months. “Consumers have long adopted Black Friday as the unofficial start of the holiday shopping period, and the streaming industry has jumped in with both feet. MyBundle believes it is the ideal time for folks to sign up for new services they have had their eyes on,” said MyBundle Co-Founder and CEO, Jason Cohen. “With this program, broadband providers get to leverage streaming deals to grow subscriber adds, upgrades and retention and to drive broadband revenue. Streamers get to leverage the broadband providers to get their deals in front of new customers. And customers get outstanding values on streaming deals, from a provider they trust, with subsidies to spend and a directory of where to spend it.” Streaming services that want to be promoted to this base of millions of subsidized streamers should send the details of their Black Friday offer, including discounts and effective dates to blackfriday@mybundle.tv.

Why does PACE need an interoperable and modular technology strategy as the model expands? The hour virtual roundtable is scheduled for Thursday, November 14 at 1 p.m. ET. Anyone interested in interoperability, healthcare, and PACE is invited to listen to the discussion. Registration is open now. PACE is a “comprehensive, fully integrated, provider-based health plan for the frailest and costliest members of our society – those who require a nursing home level of care,” according to the National PACE Association. The goal, however, is to provide care that allows those enrolled to continue living at home and in their communities. Nationally, 95% of participants continue to live at home. The model is now considered the gold standard for seniors with complex care needs. According to the NPA, there are currently 178 PACE programs serving more than 78,500 participants in 33 states and the District of Columbia. As the U.S. population ages – adults 65 years or older will increase 30%, from 63 million to 82 million, accounting for nearly one-quarter of the U.S. population by 2050 – the need for PACE to expand will only increase. To scale effectively, PACE organizations need technology that meets their needs, including a unified documentation system that integrates and shares data securely and seamlessly. "The future of interoperability in PACE lies in seamless data sharing across care teams, empowering providers to deliver truly coordinated, patient-centered care," said Felton. "While progress has been made, there are still regulatory and technological hurdles for this to be truly realized for PACE organizations, but its realization will unlock unprecedented value and transform how we care for our aging population. I look forward to unpacking this with our esteemed guests for the virtual fireside chat." Registration for the virtual roundtable is open now. A recording will be available following the event for individuals unable to attend live.
