Projectdetails

Introduction

Alkion, a revolutionary biotech company, is developing a breakthrough biorefinery to produce top quality active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) and extracts in plants in a sustainable and cost-effective way. Our core technology combines our disruptive patented automated bioreactor - AlkaBurst2.0 - with unique know-how on gene expression methods, culture media, and extraction. Our process offers high productivity and a low carbon footprint.

Industry Challenges

The pharma industry is carbon intensive with recurring problems of quality and safety. Moreover, many critical APIs are outsourced to Asia to cut costs.

Solution Overview

AlkaBurst2.0 allows for local standardized production of safe and clean APIs in its automated process, saving:

  • 75% time
  • 80% space
  • 95% electricity
  • 98% water

Validation and Funding

We first validated the production for Covid-19 natural vaccine adjuvants QS21/7, cannabinoids, and certain recombinant proteins for the urgent market demand.

Financial Projections

We need €7.5M to build and validate our pilot and expect to generate €125M in revenue by 2028, creating 105 jobs.
