Part 2/7:
Varta describes itself as a "weird unique beast"—a company bringing together two very different industries to revolutionize drug manufacturing. While traditional pharmaceutical companies develop drugs on Earth, Varta's niche involves utilizing the microgravity environment of space to enhance drug formulation.
This endeavor is akin to the historical innovation of refrigeration. When refrigerators first emerged, they empowered industries by creating cold environments essential for certain manufacturing processes. Similarly, Varta's role involves creating an "anti-gravity machine" that can manipulate the physical properties of drugs in microgravity, opening doors to formulations previously impossible on Earth.
