Twist Bioscience Corp is a synthetic biology company that has developed a disruptive DNA synthesis platform to industrialize the engineering of biology. The company's proprietary semiconductor-based manufacturing process synthesizes DNA on silicon rather than traditional plastic plates, enabling the production of high-quality synthetic DNA faster, more affordably, and at scale. This platform overcomes conventional inefficiencies, supports cost-effective, high-throughput synthesis, and allows researchers to accelerate innovation. Geographically, the company operates across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, deriving the majority of its revenue from the Americas.
“The synthetic biology industry is intensely competitive and is characterized by price competition, technological change, international competition, product turnaround time and manufacturing yield problems.”
