Accelerating Serendipitous Discovery
New process definition to supersede human limitations
The Foundry Model
Foundries are integrated facilities with a defensible data moat that can design, build, test and produce bio-products at scale, with the vision to develop various products atop a horizontalized platform.
Examples include Ginkgo Bioworks, Triple Bar Bio, Infinome Biosciences, and WuXi AppTec.
W3’s horizontalized platform reflects an end goal of flexible hardware (e.g. bioreactors) that enables plug and play of novel development techniques (e.g. strain innovation) to deliver novel products without any hardware changes.
Foundries are optimizing not just for time savings, but also to maximize margins and expedite compliance; this outcome is achieved by expertly enriching and mixing datasets.
What is truly powerful, is that enhancing design via computational discovery and abstracted insights across platform verticals, means not just a bottom line shrinkage, but massive top line growth.
