Sting Alumni Curve Partners with Digital Tvilling to Make Biomanufacturing More Scalable and Affordable
Sting alumni company Curve has announced a new partnership with Swedish AI and digital twin specialist Digital Tvilling AB to build a next-generation platform for intelligent biomanufacturing.
The collaboration aims to tackle one of the biggest barriers within precision fermentation today: cost.
Precision fermentation has the potential to transform how proteins, novel foods and functional ingredients are produced, offering more sustainable alternatives to traditional agriculture and animal farming. But scaling production efficiently remains a major challenge across the industry.
Now, Curve and Digital Tvilling want to change that by combining biotechnology, AI and operational intelligence into an integrated production platform where every fermentation run continuously improves the system.
“Together, we are building a new kind of biomanufacturing platform where every production run contributes to making the system smarter, more efficient, and more scalable,” says Jacob Peterson, CEO and co-founder of Curve.
At the core of the partnership is the idea that bioprocess data is one of the industry’s most valuable — and underutilized — assets. Today, much of that data remains fragmented across disconnected systems, making it difficult to optimize production at scale.
By integrating Curve’s sensor-equipped bioproduction systems with Digital Tvilling’s graph-based modelling and AI infrastructure, the companies aim to create a platform capable of continuously learning and improving over time.
The long-term vision is a biomanufacturing system that becomes more cost-efficient with every batch, deployment and customer.
“By turning fragmented bioprocess data into a secure, shared learning network, we can continuously improve performance across deployments while reducing cost and complexity,” says Elsa Axby, Pilot Plant Biotechnician & Project Manager at Curve.
Initial development is already underway, with the first integrated platform capabilities expected to be demonstrated in 2026.
Curve is part of the Sting alumni network and works to simplify and scale biomanufacturing through AI-powered precision fermentation technology. Digital Tvilling specializes in digital twins, AI and operational intelligence for complex industrial and public sector environments.
