This company specializes in the supply of enzymes for mRNA production.

The company was already owned by another vehicle of the management company that remains in the shareholding, Inveready Biotech II, which invested in the launch of the business initiative. The investment provides the company with the necessary resources through tranches to undertake investments to expand its facilities.

Gaea and Inveready will support BDI in its organic and inorganic growth

Through this investment, Gaea and Inveready will support BDI in its organic and inorganic growth, in order to consolidate growth and turn the company into a reference supplier along the entire value chain of mRNA-based therapies, as well as in its consolidation as a research and development (R&D) partner for other companies.

Although mRNA-based therapies have only recently become known due to the health crisis caused by COVID-19, it is a technology that has been in development for decades and is applied in a wide range of pathologies, including, in addition to infectious diseases, oncology and immunology.

The effectiveness of COVID-19 in vaccination has meant that the different clinical trials in this field have accelerated, making it necessary to find suppliers of the reagents needed to manufacture this type of drug. Ramón Resa, director of Gaea, commented that “we are very excited to accompany BDI in this new stage of growth, in which we will seek to provide it with the necessary industrial capacity to make it a relevant player in the provision of vaccine enzymes and mRNA-based therapies.”
