Work together
Bilateral projects, Consortium projects and Technology transfer
YDLabs plays as subcontractor in Bilateral projects, Consortium projects and Technology transfer.
We welcome companies, research institutes, and other partners for the development, optimization, scale-up, and custom manufacturing of fermentation processes or products. Operating under strict confidentiality to safeguard intellectual property, we offer 24/7 availability and maintain a highly transparent approach.
Why build a plant when you can bring your product to the field faster?
Getting a biological from the lab to the field doesn’t require owning a fermentation plant – it requires access to the right equipment and the right people at the right moment. Building that yourself means years of capital, hiring, and risk, long before your product has proven itself in the field. A CDMO gives you the same capability as a service: scale up when you need to, pay for what you use, and keep full ownership of your product and IP.

Why build a plant?
A pilot-to-demo facility is a multi-year, multi-million-dollar commitment - bioreactors, downstream equipment, utilities, cleanrooms, permits, maintenance - and most of it sits idle between campaigns. With YDLabs you access industrial infrastructure from 80L to 15,000L on demand, and put your capital into product and field trials instead of steel and concrete.

Why hire a fermentation team?
Reliable scale-up depends on scarce, expensive expertise - process, upstream, downstream, and analytics specialists who are hard to recruit and harder to keep busy year-round. YDLabs brings a team with 70+ years of combined fermentation experience that plugs into your project exactly when you need it.

Why spend the CapEx?
Capital locked into a plant is capital not spent on R&D, regulatory work, and market entry - and it's committed before you know your process will scale or your product will win in the field. A fee-per-service model turns a heavy fixed investment into a predictable, project-based cost that scales with your progress, not ahead of it.
