Engineered Living Materials Manufacturing Platform
We program biological growth
to produce next generation advanced materials.
Our concern
Industrial materials are made through extractive, energy-intensive processes that scale carbon emissions and resource depletion. This manufacturing logic cannot support future performance or sustainability demands.
Our vision
Living systems grow complex, high-performance structures using abundant inputs and ambient conditions. Our vision is to direct and program biological growth to produce high-performance industrial materials.
Our mission
Our goal is to build a biology-driven, general-purpose manufacturing platform that solve critical problems and unlock future capabilities unattainable through conventional manufacturing methods.
Our technology platform
We are pioneering the technique of Microbial Tissue Engineering. A technology that uses first principles from mammalian tissue-engineering to program the growth of microbial cells to obtain materials with defined structure and function at an industrial scale. Our technology platform is built of four compounding layers:
Stromate: the first functionally programmable engineered living material
It translates a thousand-year natural stromatolite-forming process into a controlled, days-long manufacturing cycle, where biological growth can be directed to deliver specific material properties such as strength, insulation and fire-safety.

Scale
Our platform has crossed a critical scaling benchmark for engineered living materials, achieving metre-scale growth in under two weeks.
We have unlocked the threshold for producing next-generation living materials at a real-world scale.
