About

A future trend
became an action.

Mewery began as a combination of business experience, scientific curiosity and a wish to help end the need to slaughter animals for food.

The Beginning

Business skills, enthusiasm and a reason to begin.

Mewery was founded by Roman Lauš with the help of his partner Kristýna Kvardová and many enthusiastic people around them. The idea brought together Roman’s entrepreneurial experience, Kristýna’s background as a clinical biologist and a shared ambition to build a beneficial business for animals and the planet.

For Roman, the company was also the point where a long interest in exponential technologies became a practical commitment: not only to discuss how the future may change, but to help build one of those changes.

Before Mewery

A career shaped by
building new things.

01

Entrepreneurship from the start

Roman has been an entrepreneur since his twenties. In 2003, he co-founded the localisation businesses Global DTP and Global Elearning—companies that continue to operate today.

02

Companies and climate technology

He later co-founded the innovative real-estate company Home Institute, which was acquired by one of the country’s largest developers, and invested in the US clean-technology startup LTEOIL.

03

Future Port Prague

As a founding-team member and Programme Director of Future Port Prague, Roman brought hundreds of speakers to an international event devoted to emerging technologies. Studying those technologies led him to the growing field of alternative proteins.

The turning point

By 2019, the opportunity was visible. The next step was to act.

Roman began meeting founders in alternative protein and exploring the science behind cultivated meat. He decided it was time to move from organising conversations about future technologies to creating a company of their own.

“Thanks to Mewery, I have finally found my passion—one fully aligned with the Buddhist teachings that shape my inner values, especially compassion for all sentient beings.”

The Work Today

One company cannot create a new food system alone.

Mewery continues to develop the cell biology, microalgae, media and bioprocess capabilities behind OMNIA. The work depends on scientists, engineers, manufacturers and food-industry partners collaborating towards the same goal.
