TOKYO, March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Japanese alternative meat company Next Meats Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, CEO: Hideyuki Sasaki) just announced the launch of the "Next Meats Accelerator Program," which proposes and serves as a platform to conduct worldwide open innovation among the players in the alternative protein industry as well as all individuals and companies who are serious about tackling the climate crisis problem.
This accelerator program aims to unite researchers, experts of all walks of businesses, and companies in and outside the alternative protein industry who are serious about counteracting climate change, and together cultivate worldwide business opportunities that benefit the planet and everyone involved.

In order to address the urgency of the climate crisis facing humanity on a global scale, Next Meats believes that we must cooperate and rapidly co-create our future, rather than compete amongst one another for profitability, small market shares, and minimal environmental impact. This is why the Next Meats Accelerator Program was launched.
