Italy's Arsenale Bioyards raises 9.5M in funding
Briefly

Arsenale Bioyards, based in Pordenone, Italy, has secured $10M in seed funding to enhance its scalable biomanufacturing efforts. The round was led by Planet A, a venture capital fund focusing on green technologies, and included several investors. The funds will support the company's infrastructure expansion and push towards commercializing its innovative biomanufacturing platform. This platform integrates advanced bioreactors and AI-driven software to optimize fermentation processes, making it possible for industries to shift from traditional animal and petrochemical products to sustainable alternatives.
"At Planet A, we saw Arsenale's potential early on-this is a fundamental rethink of how biomanufacturing scales. By making production cost-competitive and standardised, Arsenale turns biomanufacturing into an investable asset class while enabling industries to move away from animal- and petrochemical-derived products at scale."
"This funding reinforces our ability to drive measurable change and underscores our aspiration to build a new generative, biology-driven industrial paradigm," says Massimo Portincaso, CEO and Co-Founder of Arsenale Bioyards.
