This month, Barcelona-based vegan brand Foods for Tomorrow announced that it has raised 250,000€ ($271,000) from Spanish government-backed NEOTEC Program of the Center for Industrial Technological Development. The two year program will support the development and expansion of Foods for Tomorrow’s plant-based meat line Huera, which currently includes chicken, burgers, meatballs, and pizza.
总部位于巴塞罗那的纯素品牌公司“明日食品”（Foods for Tomorrow）于本月宣布，已通过西班牙政府支持的工业科技发展中心（CDTI）NEOTEC计划融资250,000欧元（271,000美元）。该项为期两年的计划将支持明日食品公司开发和扩大其植物肉产品系列“Huera”，目前囊括了（纯素食的）鸡肉、汉堡肉饼、肉丸和披萨产品。
“Our mission is to stop the exploitation of animal sources and democratize access to delicious, nutritious, and sustainable plant-based meat, and being supported by the NEOTEC program validates the need to move to a more sustainable food system,” Foods for Tomorrow co-founder Bernat Añaños told VegNews.
明日食品公司联合创始人Bernat Añaños向VegNews网站表示：“我们的使命是终止利用动物来源，同时推广普及美味、营养、可持续发展的植物肉。（我们）获得NEOTEC计划的支持，也证实了（人们）转移到更具可持续性的食品体系的必要性。”
“This change is going to happen, what we want is to accelerate it as much as possible. Being part of the NEOTEC Program is a great sign that institutions are joining what a lot of companies and consumers were already doing. If governments and international organizations such as the UN or the EU support plant-based meat companies … it will be a huge win for the protein switch.”
“（食品体系的）这种转变即将发生，我们想要的是尽可能地加快这种转变。（我们得以）加入NEOTEC计划突出表明了，一些机构也开始参与目前很多公司和消费者已经在做的事情。如果各国政府和国际组织（如联合国、欧盟等）都支持植物肉公司……那么这将是蛋白质变革的巨大胜利。”
Foods for Tomorrow currently distributes its Huera line in major supermarkets across Spain and recently began distribution in Asia (Singapore and Hong Kong). The brand aims to get its products into both the United States and Canada in 2020.
明日食品公司的Huera系列产品目前在西班牙各大超市均有销售，最近亦开始投放到亚洲（新加坡和香港）。2020年，这家纯素品牌公司希望将其产品打入美国和加拿大市场。
