First US-approved cultivated meat company; $612M raised, USDA and FDA clearance in 2023, pioneering cell-cultivated chicken for commercial sale.
Upside Foods (formerly Memphis Meats) is a Berkeley, California-based cultivated meat company founded in 2015 by Dr. Uma Valeti, Nicholas Genovese, and Will Clem. The company produces chicken directly from animal cells without slaughter, using bioreactor-based cell cultivation. In June 2023, Upside Foods and GOOD Meat became the first US companies to receive USDA approval to sell cultivated meat commercially — a historic regulatory milestone for the food technology industry.\n\nUpside Foods has raised $612 million across seven funding rounds from investors including Tyson Foods, Cargill, Softbank Vision Fund, Bill Gates, and Richard Branson, at a valuation of approximately $1 billion. Commercial sales launched through a partnership with Michelin-starred chef Dominique Crenn at Bar Crenn in San Francisco, followed by additional restaurant partners. The company's engineering-grade production facility in Emeryville, California serves as both a pilot plant and a showcase for the cultivation technology.\n\nUpside Foods faces the significant challenge of scaling bioreactor production to commercially competitive costs. While regulatory approval is secured, food scientists estimate that cost parity with conventional chicken will require several additional years of manufacturing innovation. The company is widely regarded as the most technically advanced cultivated meat player in the US.

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational mobility conglomerate founded in 1948 by Soichiro Honda and Takeo Fujisawa in Hamamatsu, Japan.

With over 90 million vehicles sold globally and a reputation built on engineering reliability, fuel efficiency, and innovation, Honda operates manufacturing facilities across more than 30 countries on six continents.\n\nHonda's automotive lineup ranges from mass-market sedans and SUVs — including the best-selling Civic and CR-V — to trucks, minivans, and the premium Acura brand. The company is executing a major pivot to electrification through the Honda 0 Series, a new EV architecture designed from the ground up for battery-electric vehicles launching in 2026. Honda's partnership with General Motors on battery technology, combined with its investment in solid-state battery development, reflects a multi-path electrification strategy designed to hedge technology risk while building scale.\n\nHonda reported FY2025 revenue of JPY 21.7 trillion, a 6.2% year-over-year increase, driven by strong North American demand and favorable currency tailwinds. The company faces intensifying competition from Chinese EV manufacturers in Asia and is exploring a potential merger with Nissan as part of broader Japanese automotive consolidation. Honda's engineering culture, global manufacturing scale, and brand credibility in reliability position it as a resilient and well-capitalized incumbent navigating the EV transition.
