  • State-of-the-art analytical and process sciences labs​
  • Process and Development scientists in each Life Science company

Bio AI Vision

Combining biomechanics and machine learning, ​we are developing AI-powered capabilities to predict production outcomes based on the culture conditions. ​

By leveraging proprietary imaging technology, sensing technologies, and AI experts cultivated in our imaging and ​ medical businesses as “ready-to-work” teams, we aim to ​raise the consistency and predictability of bioproduction. ​

Our simulations will reduce development time and improve antibody yields during the development stage, optimizing ​ media components and conditions for cell culture and other bioprocesses. ​

During production, this technology helps minimize variation ​ in quality and yield from batch-to-batch and site-to-site, facilitating smooth product transfer between sites.​

KojoX

Dual sourcing with modular facilities

We are transforming the industry through standardization of proven technologies and ways of working. We call this our kojoX philosophy. By applying a kojoX mindset we harmonize facility designs, equipment, processes, and procedures across our network to increase speed and at the same time ensure consistency, quality and scalability in biomanufacturing. This standardization allows us to replicate successful manufacturing capabilities at multiple sites and ensures uniform production methods, regardless of location. The result is that medicines are produced faster with the same high level of quality, reliability, and efficiency at every facility. 

Kojo — has a dual meaning in Japanese: "factory" and "improvement."

X — represents both the power of being location-agnostic and the exponential impact we seek to transform the industry.​

KojoX is supported by three pillars:

  1. Resilience: Standardized processes across locations. Geographic diversity of supply. 
  2. Scalability (Modular design): Rapid facility expansion. Efficient scale-up & scale-down. 
  3. Speed (Improve time-to-patient): Reduce tech-transfer time. Faster regulatory processes.
