twig bio

Twig is a UK-based bioengineering company that leverages artificial intelligence and automation to develop sustainable alternatives to traditional ingredients in consumer goods. By employing precision fermentation, Twig uses microbes as miniature factories to produce eco-friendly substitutes for substances like hyaluronic acid and isoprene, which are typically derived from fossil fuels or animal products. Their proprietary platform, twig:tech, integrates AI tools such as bio:drive and grow:bot to rapidly design and test novel microbial strains, significantly accelerating the development process. This approach aims to provide high-yield, cost-effective, and scalable ingredients that reduce environmental impact without compromising quality.
