twig:tech is our proprietary technology platform. Our unique approach integrates machine learning into how we run our experiments, constantly feeding every bit of data we generate back into the next microbe design.
Our core technologies – bio:drive and grow:bot, streamline and enhance the development of sustainable biological solutions.
Bioengineering can help solve our dependence on unsustainable ingredients. It aims to cultivate those ingredients from bacteria, rather than extracting them from the ground or sea, or producing them with fossil fuels. Current bioengineering methods cost too much, take too long, and come with little chance of success. Step forward twig:tech, a better way to create the clean ingredients that’ll change the world.
Our AI runs through everything we do, identifying opportunities and setting the course through our product tree. And, it’s what makes us different from everyone else.
This is how it works. An architect and a builder, a thinker and doer of bioengineering.
From hundreds of billions of possibilities, our AI and ML tools generate novel microbe designs and score their expected performance
Microbe designs in the millions – covering pathway and enzyme selection, gene edits, and expression levels – are lab-ready and transferred to grow:bot
Our automated, high-throughput tool builds the massive diversity of microbe designs from bio:drive, generating real data across plate and fermentor
Using rapid, low-cost analytics, from millions of designs we select one top performer, ready for industrial-scale manufacture.
We won’t take an ingredient microbe to market unless we’ve proven that it delivers. This means demonstrating a high enough yield – at a low enough price – to be preferable to existing ingredients. And at a scale to meet consumer demand.
We need great relationships with our customers to realise our vision, so we won’t deliver anything we’re not 100% confident in.
If you’re a company looking to switch up your product ingredients for something economical and environmentally friendly, come and see what you can grow with twig.
