Co-designing with nature,
at scale
Arsenale is building a new industrial infrastructure driven by nature, a proprietary system from lab to production enabling fast, low-cost biomanufacturing at an industrial scale.
Economically viable biomanufacturing is here
Arsenale’s platform is a fully integrated biomanufacturing solution, weaving together hardware, data, and AI into a seamless system that controls every step of the production value chain — from lab-scale organism-design to large-scale industrial production.
This end-to-end integration ensures precision, scalability, and continuous learning, creating an ecosystem where every component interacts harmoniously to accelerate time-to-market and reduce risk.
UPCOMING REPORT
Harnessing the Economic and Environmental Benefits of Advanced Biotechnology
Excerpt
“In the face of unprecedented environmental challenges, the need to find sustainable and scalable solutions has never been more urgent. The upcoming report, Harnessing the Economic and Environmental Benefits of Advanced Biotechnology, represents a collective effort by industry leaders to explore and advance the potential of biotechnology in creating a more sustainable future.
The promise of advanced biotechnology is profound: it can significantly advance the circular economy, deliver a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and conserve natural resources, even as it delivers distinctive performance gains and creates substantial economic value. In past efforts, advanced biotechnologies have achieved neither the pace nor scale of their potential. Achieving a material shift in trajectory will require focused and strategic efforts across sectors from both advanced biotechnology players and supporting industries.
This report is a testament to the shared vision and commitment of the leaders and the institutions authoring the report. By providing fact-based insights and a unified framework that integrates financial and sustainability benefits, we aim to help to set priorities and spark collaboration across the biotechnology value chain.”
The report is co-authored by members of the Advanced Biotech for Sustainability Coalition
and will be published in March, 2025 at BIOKET 2025.

A NEW ERA
We are standing on the verge of a neo-industrial era that will fundamentally and radically transform how we produce food, materials, and goods.
For years, most companies have tried to engineer nature’s complexity, using brute-force methods and reductionist tools to manipulate biological systems. These approaches failed to scale, as they overlooked the intricate interdependencies of living organisms.
Instead of forcing nature into rigid frameworks, Arsenale's approach of nature co-design works with nature’s inherent complexity to enable scalable, industrial production in the lab.

biomanufacturing platform
Radically new lab fermentation
THE PICCOLO
Our micro-scale reactors enable high-throughput precision fermentation under real-world industrial conditions, generating unprecedented data to predict industrial conditions from the very start.
DESIGN@SCALE
The AI-powered bridge
At the heart of the Arsenale platform is Design@Scale, Arsenale's AI-powered software that maximizes the potential of every single bioreactor run.
THE BIOYARD
Scaling biology out – not up
Arsenale’s BioYards house the immense power of Goliath reactors, each with a capacity exceeding 50,000 litres. Our BioYards are the industrial backbone, transforming lab-born innovations into large-scale, commercially viable products.
FRACTAL LEARNING LOOP
Learning at every scale.
Arsenale’s platform doesn’t just scale—it learns and evolves. The continuous learning loop generated by our platform, connects every element of the process with real-time data flowing through the system.
“Our system addresses the challenges of traditional methods, making biomanufacturing economically viable and building the industrial and data backbone of the bio-economy.”
