Scaling Bottlenecks in Biomanufacturing: The Structural Challenges We Need to Solve
Biotech’s barriers to scale aren’t accidental – they’re structural.
To unlock the bioeconomy, we must design out the bottlenecks in infrastructure, translation, and capital from the start.
When Biotech Meets Economics: Building Systems that Scale
Biotech’s frontier is no longer technical – it’s economic.
To scale, we must design industrial systems where viability is built in from the start, not added as an afterthought.
De-Risking Scale-Up in Biomanufacturing
Breakthroughs in precision fermentation, strain design, and process optimization have reshaped the edges of what’s possible. Yet much of industrial biotech remains stalled – technically sound but economically unviable.
Biomanufacturing in the Neo-Industrial Age.
In this essay, Massimo Portincaso explores how biomanufacturing, and particularly precision fermentation, signals more than a technological breakthrough. It marks the rise of a new industrial logic – one no longer centered on extraction, but on nature co-design.
The Origin of Arsenale
When we chose the name Arsenale, we were not looking for a metaphor. We were aligning our mission.
