"New era" for Milan biotech hero Arsenale Bioyards after scoring €9m in funding
Arsenale Bioyards hopes to ramp up the commercialisation of bio-manufacturing. Now its own journey has been accelerated by a major seed funding round led by Nordic and German investors.

With a broad goal of redefining scalable biomanufacturing, Milan-based Arsenale Bioyards has just announced it is taking in €9m ($10m) to work on its mission, after successfully closing its first seed financing round.
Arsenale's platform combines advanced lab and industrial-scale bioreactors with AI-driven software, optimising fermentation processes and increasing the speed of scaling from lab to industrial scale.
In simpler terms, its business model is about making it easier and cheaper to use microorganisms (such as yeast) to produce useful materials. Until now, this process (called precision fermentation) has been too expensive for many industries outside of medicine. Arsenale's breakthrough is a system that it says cuts costs dramatically - by up to 90 percent. Their approach uses collections of smaller production units (called bioyards) instead of building one massive facility.
