Entrepreneurial mindset is taking action for a solution when nobody is. Giuseppe stepped out of the academic world, where he specialized in tissue engineering, to tackle a pressing global issue: the need for sustainable meat alternatives. With this goal in mind, he invented the first 3-D printer for plant-based meats, an innovation with the potential to transform our food system.
