The Digest’s 2026 Multi-Slide Guide to Lab-to-Plant Tech Transfer in Industrial Biology

Technology transfer is where industrial biology projects frequently lose money during the commercial ramp due to preventable operating failures. While written recipes transfer easily, critical “invisible cargo”—such as tacit operator knowledge, scale-dependent variables, and complex equipment interactions—is often left behind. To de-risk scale-up, developers must look past misleading calendar milestones. Instead, they should deploy joint sending/receiving teams, maintain scale-up registers, and strictly measure duration-to-criteria to ensure operational readiness before final investment decisions.
