In antIcIpatIon of the 50th annIversary of NASA astronauts landing on the moon, Newsweek is spotlighting pioneers in science and technology, highlighting their very own moonshots and how they hope to change the world.

Giuseppe Scionti, the 33-year-old founder and CEO of NovaMeat, a Spanish bioengineering startup, is on track to create steak made solely out of plant-based ingredients that mimics the texture, taste and nutritional properties of beef using a patented customized 3D printer. His inspiration to merge biotechnology with food technology stemmed from his work as a tissue engineer and his knowledge of the negative effects of animal farming on climate change. Scionti has been deemed the inventor of the world’s first 3D-printed plant-based meat substitute.

My moonshot is creating a plant-based beefsteak that will rival real meat in taste, texture and appearance.
