UPSIDE Foods' commercial plant, named " Rubicon ", is designed to produce millions of pounds of cultivated meat products, starting with cultivated chicken. The plant will enable UPSIDE to expand its commercial offerings, increase scalability, and reduce production cost. UPSIDE Foods selected Illinois and the greater Chicagoland region due to its strategic location from a logistics and distribution perspective, its pro-innovation business environment, and its skilled workforce. UPSIDE's Midwest expansion builds upon the Chicago area's legacy in meat production and is expected to create at least 75 new jobs across warehousing, logistics, bioprocessing, food production, and other commercial functions.
