The Project

mRNA is an extraordinary opportunity to provide vaccines and therapies in a record time and at the right cost and place, especially in countries that have been poorly served up to now.

Such a fast-to-develop technology should go with a fast-to-scale manufacturing process, offering highly flexible capacity. Additionally, the Biopharma industry needs to be more sustainable and reduce its carbon footprint.

For meeting such requirements, Dillico is developing a continuous, digitized and scale-up-free GMP mRNA manufacturing equipment.

This ambitious venture project has strong technical foundations from the co-founders, with experiences in major biopharma players, and from a strong expertise of the R&D team – the project benefits also from strong IP assets.

We are working to develop a solution which serves both the biopharma industry and the people, including LMICs, through intensive exchanges and partnerships with key players.
