Plant Cell Institute (PCI) is a global community dedicated to unlocking the potential of plant cells by accelerating research, development and commercialization of plant cell culture derived products for consumer markets. As a central hub of expertise, PCI connects scientists, industry leaders, investors, and consumers to drive innovation and growth in the field of plant cell culture.

Plant cell culture (PCC), unlocks the potential of the microscopic units of plants - plant cells - to create advanced plant-derived ingredients and products with unparalleled features. Plant cell culture overcomes the limitations of conventional supplies, and delivers scalable, precise, and cost-effective solutions that set new benchmarks for plant-derived ingredients and products. Plant cell culture is driving the development of a diverse range of plant-derived ingredients and products, such as cosmetic ingredients, nutraceuticals, flavors, fragrances, coffee, cocoa, wood, and cotton.

The PCI’s mission is to promote the growth of the plant cell culture industry by supporting research breakthroughs, facilitating solutions to technological bottlenecks, and accelerating the large-scale production of plant cell culture products for consumer markets worldwide. Used for decades in industrial-scale pharmaceutical production, the technology behind plant cell culture is now poised for broader applications. The plant cell institute is dedicated to adapting and promoting this proven technology to deliver cost-effective solutions for everyday consumer products. The PCI envisions a future where plant cell culture delivers unique plant-derived ingredients and consumer products which provide resilient, sustainable, and cost-effective solutions to supply chain challenges.
