The solution
Enzidia aims to dramatically accelerate enzyme optimisation, paving the way for faster, more efficient, and more sustainable industrial bioprocesses.
Enzidia’s platform addresses the common bottleneck of enzyme efficiency by significantly increasing the capacity to screen and collect data on enzyme variants. This allows them to identify and engineer faster, more effective enzymes with an unprecedented rate, thereby enabling more competitive and eco-friendly bioprocesses.
At the centre of the business is the Enzidia Evolutionary Wheel, aimed at unblocking the two key bottlenecks around enzyme engineering: screening throughput and data size. The former is a numbers game – the more you screen, the more likely you are to find a faster enzyme; the latter is around collecting more information to inform, through AI-based learning, what constitutes better enzyme sequences.
On screening throughput, the ENZIDIA platform has a library creation and screening capacity that is 3 orders of magnitude greater than state-of-the-art, and 7 orders of magnitude greater than robotics-based platforms. In terms of data collection, their patent-pending technology MillionFull allows an unprecedented capacity, giving their use of AI a fundamental advantage.
The team
Jinbei Li (CEO & Founder)
Jinbei brings deep sector expertise working with microbial biotech. Having gained a PhD in synthetic bioengineering, he innovated as a postdoctoral researcher in metabolic and enzyme engineering at the Novo Nordisk Foundation Center for Biosustainability. This research ultimately led him to build the technology platform behind Enzidia.
Why we’re excited to invest
Marian Gazdik, partner at G-Force: “Jinbei, Enzidia’s founder, is clearly mission driven and unapologetically ambitious with his unique approach of making the enzymes industry orders of magnitude more efficient. Enzidia isn’t just shaping the future—it’s accelerating it. This is exactly the kind of disruptive innovation we love to invest in and help scale.”
What Enzidia’s looking to get out of the programme
- Support in defining clearer market positioning strategies
- Broadening our entrepreneurship ecosystem network
- Specific operational support in company building
