twig is a bioengineering company using AI to create sustainable ingredients that don’t cost the earth. We’re on a mission to drive a global transition away from unsustainably resourced ingredients to bio-fermented ingredients in a way that benefits everyone – people, producers, and the planet. We’re using AI to radically improve the speed and efficacy of lab-based bioengineering, creating affordable, scalable, and dependable ingredients that producers can use in the everyday items the world relies on – without compromise. We like to call this ‘bioengineering better’. A game-changing, AI-defined approach to bioengineering in which the tech drives the direction of the science. This means no gut instincts, preconceptions, or the pressure to meet short-term service contracts - which have plagued the bioengineering industry for decades - just rapid, incisive data analysis to signpost the best answers to some of the planet’s most pressing sustainability problems.

The UK has a 70x disadvantage in venture capital funding from pension funds compared to the US. That was one of the standout messages from an invigorating Innovation & Technology Dinner last night at Mansion House, hosted by The Lord Mayor. With leaders from across finance, tech, and government, the focus was clear: how do we fuel UK economic growth? Powerful speeches from The Lord Mayor, the Rt Hon Peter Kyle MP, Secretary of State at Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, and Dame Anne Glover of Amadeus Capital Partners left us with some urgent messages: 1️⃣ Innovate, don't imitate. The government is committed to funding UK-based R&D to discover and develop the best tech right here. 2️⃣ Keep UK tech in the UK. When we grow world-class companies, we must create an ecosystem where they can scale and stay, guided by our values. 3️⃣ Unlock the capital. AI can be our economic flywheel, but it needs energy. That energy is capital. A tiny 0.5% commitment from UK pension funds would 5x our national VC pot from £4B to £20B! 🤯 The conversations were just as inspiring. It was a pleasure discussing the future with Samantha Niblett MP (founder of Labour: Women in Tech), Alderman & Sheriff Gregory Jones KC, and Andrew Mackintosh of UK Innovation & Science Seed Fund [UKI2S], one of twig bio's investors. It was also fantastic to connect with fellow innovators like Phillip Chambers who is building rockets with Orbex in Scotland! 🚀 The passion for UK science and technology is undeniable. Now, we need to unlock the capital to match it. #UKTech #Innovation #VentureCapital #EconomicGrowth #ScienceAndTechnology
