The multi-year collaboration aims to scale molecular data storage infrastructure and unlock breakthrough cost efficiencies by 2030.
PISCATAWAY, N.J. and LOS ANGELES, April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GenScript Biotech Corporation, the world's leading provider of CMOS-based DNA synthesis technologies, and Mimulus Corp, the pioneer in Molecular Archive Technology™, today announced a strategic collaboration to industrialize DNA-based data storage, a technology poised to transform how the world preserves data in the age of Artificial Intelligence.
As the AI-driven surge in global data creation accelerates exponentially, existing archival storage systems built on magnetic tape and hard drives are reaching their economic and environmental limits. The strategic partnership between GenScript and Mimulus aims to address this challenge by architecting the world's first molecular archival storage that requires no electricity to preserve data once encoded into DNA and can store massive volumes of information for centuries.
Under the agreement, GenScript will industrialize high‑throughput DNA synthesis at scale, targeting a leap from millions to billions of oligonucleotides synthesized in parallel on a single chip. Building on its highly-validated manufacturing platform, currently capable of synthesizing 8 million oligonucleotides in parallel on a single chip, GenScript will deliver the scale, reproducibility, and validation required to make emerging applications like molecular data storage commercially viable. While the DNA technology landscape remains fragmented across writing, reading, and storage, GenScript brings capabilities across key parts of the DNA data storage value chain, including synthesis, sequencing-related technologies, and platform development. Combined with Mimulus' proprietary Molecular Archive Technology™, this capability enables molecular data storage to transition from laboratory innovation to commercially scalable infrastructure.
"When a new category emerges, the winners are built on infrastructure," said Sherry Shao, Rotating CEO of GenScript Biotech Corporation. "At GenScript, we believe in Scripting Possibilities - turning what was once theoretical into scalable reality. DNA-based data storage will only become a viable real-world infrastructure when synthesis can be delivered at extraordinary throughput, quality, and cost. We are building that industrial foundation to transform molecular storage from being 'scientific promise' into 'global reality'."
Mimulus Glacier Data Storage Card is replacing decaying magnetic infrastructure. By combining GenScript's proven industrial-scale synthesis engine with Mimulus's molecular transcoding architecture, this credit-card-sized device creates a completely off-stack and off-grid physical vault. The collaboration seeks to dramatically accelerate the cost curve of DNA-based storage and unlock economically viable archival systems for global cloud and AI workloads.
"Trying to solve a pressing 21st-century AI data problem with mid-century magnetic tape is a bit like trying to launch a rocket with a steam engine," said Todd R. Nelson, Ph.D., Founder and Chairman of Mimulus Corp. "But this isn't just about building a better storage device; it's about liquidating an operational liability to fuel the AI revolution. By combining our proprietary architecture with GenScript's unparalleled manufacturing scale, we are printing power permits. We are handing hyperscalers the exact megawatts they need to turn on their AI supercomputers today, unlocking a trillion-dollar flywheel that reshapes the economics of the cloud."

Partnership brings adaptive AI upskilling to Georgia's top-ranked economic development community, targeting the region's advanced manufacturing and industrial workforce
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. and LAGRANGE, Ga., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MindHYVE.ai™, Inc. and the Development Authority of LaGrange have signed a Strategic Collaboration Framework (SCF) to deploy AI-powered adaptive learning across LaGrange's workforce ecosystem. The partnership will introduce ArthurAI™, MindHYVE's agentic vocational learning platform, to address upskilling demands in one of the Southeast's largest manufacturing and industrial corridors.
LaGrange currently ranks as the top economic development community in Georgia, and sixth nationally for micropolitans, according to Site Selection Magazine. The region's Georgia International Business Park (GIBP), the largest in the Southeast and fourth largest in the country, is home to more than 41 international companies across 18 countries, anchored by multiple Fortune 500 companies, including Kia and its supplier network. With a regional workforce of approximately 250,000 and over 50,000 manufacturing jobs, employers have identified a growing gap between effective training and upskilling programs and the basic technical skills required by employers in the region.
Under the framework, MindHYVE.ai™ will work with the Development Authority to deploy ArthurAI™ across employer-driven training programs, beginning with multiple pilot cohorts in the region's advanced manufacturing and automotive supplier networks. The collaboration includes:
- ArthurAI™ Vocational Learning Edition (VLE) — adaptive upskilling aligned to employer-identified competencies; adjusts to each worker's learning pace, background, and role in real time, whether they're a first-time floor operator or a seasoned technician learning a new system
- ArthurAI™ Corporate Learning Edition (CLE) — AI-fluency training for supervisors, management, and corporate teams, delivered in partnership with the California Institute of Artificial Intelligence (CIAI)
- The Dawn Directive™ — the California Institute of Artificial Intelligence's (CIAI) AI literacy and fluency program, powered by MindHYVE.ai™; a 4-month, 18-course, 360-hour AI fluency certification designed for regulated industries and the industrial workforce
Making ArthurAI™ Cost-Neutral for Georgia Employers
A critical accelerator in the LaGrange deployment is Georgia's robust workforce funding ecosystem. ArthurAI™ training programs are designed to qualify for stacked funding through WIOA Title I (Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), the Georgia Work Ready credential framework, federal manufacturing training grants administered through the Department of Labor, and Economic Development partnership opportunities through the Technical College System of Georgia. For participating employers, this funding architecture has the potential to make ArthurAI™ deployment significantly more accessible. The Development Authority of LaGrange will serve as the funding coordination gateway for GIBP employers entering the program.
Initial deployment will focus on parallel pilot programs with local advanced manufacturing and automotive suppliers, comparing adaptive AI-driven training against traditional methods across metrics including completion time, competency retention, and employer satisfaction. The partnership also establishes a pathway for phased expansion across LaGrange's diversified industrial base, with the Development Authority serving as the deployment gateway for ArthurAI™ across GIBP's full 100+ company ecosystem.
"Workforce development has to meet people where they are, not where a standard curriculum assumes they should be," said Bill Faruki, Founder and CEO of MindHYVE.ai™. "ArthurAI™ adapts to each learner's background and pace, whether they're a first-time manufacturing worker or a seasoned operator learning a new system. LaGrange's employer base and economic development leadership make it an ideal environment to demonstrate what that looks like at scale."
"I built ArthurAI™ on one non-negotiable principle: AI should make workers more valuable, not more vulnerable," Faruki added. "We don't deploy technology that displaces people — we deploy technology that makes them indispensable. If it doesn't grow employment, we don't ship it. LaGrange will be the proof point."
"The Development Authority of LaGrange is committed to ensuring our workforce keeps pace with the industries that drive our economy," said Scott Malone, President of the Development Authority of LaGrange. "This collaboration gives us a new tool to deliver training that's faster, more personalized, and directly aligned to what our employers need."
"We are a community built for industry, powered by talent and proven by results. We are excited to be positioned to continue leading the State of Georgia in deployment of new training technologies in ethical AI," said Kelley Bush, Director of Workforce Development and Existing Industry for the Development Authority of LaGrange.
