Localized, Modular Production


               Traditional biologic manufacturing is centralized by
               necessity. The costs, regulations, and complexity make it
               impossible to replicate in multiple regions. This leads to
               long supply chains, bottlenecks, and a production
               ecosystem vulnerable to geopolitical disruption or facility
               shutdown.

               Plants break that dependency.


               Because the platform doesn’t rely on expensive
               infrastructure, it can be produced almost anywhere:


                   •  In university greenhouses
                   •  On regional farms
                   •  In containerized vertical grow units near urban
                       clinics
                   •  Even on-site at major hospitals or health centers

               This enables:


                   •  Near-patient manufacturing
                   •  Faster response to local outbreaks or disease
                       clusters
                   •  Reduced transportation time and cost
                   •  More equitable access across regions

               In essence, this is distributed biologic manufacturing—a
               model where drugs are made close to where they’re
               needed, rather than shipped from centralized factories
               thousands of miles away.

               That’s not just efficiency - It’s resilience.
