iBio: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

iBio utilizes its iBioLaunch™ and iBioModulator™ platforms to develop and offer product applications to partners, providing comprehensive support for the implementation of its technology for both proprietary and biosimilar products. The iBioLaunch platform is a unique technology for producing biologics using transient gene expression in unaltered green plants. This method offers advantages such as the ability to produce proteins that are challenging or impossible to create with other techniques, applicable to a wide range of biologics, and allows for quick development and validation of flexible and scalable manufacturing facilities. Other benefits include increased capacity for responding to bioterrorism or pandemics, freedom from traditional process patents, and lower production costs compared to other methods.

About FundedIQ's iBio Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for iBio is left off this page rather than filled in.
