2. Creation of products using new biotechnology such as fermentation processes to create exact replicas of animal-based dairy and other items
3. Developments in the animal-free & sustainable materials space, including the launch of an organization dedicated to furthering this innovation
4. More multinational corporations getting in on the growing vegan and plant-based sector, through acquisitions, investment and accelerators (and why this is a good thing)
