About us

Approximately 350 biotech projects are developed by the iGEM community every year that tackle local challenges globally. Despite their immense potential for impact, many promising projects don’t go beyond the competition. The most significant progress in implementing these projects has been through iGEM’s entrepreneurial community who have created over a 150 startups over the past 15 years. The aim of the entrepreneurship program is to support the development of this community by increasing their impact so that we can accelerate our transition to a sustainable bioeconomy. We will achieve this through a combination of venture creation labs, mentor matchmaking and fast-track access to the leading accelerators in the Americas, Asia-pacific and Europe Middle East and Africa regions. The program will highlight and celebrate these founders with a Start-up Showcase at the Jamboree each year where they can connect with and inspire future generation of iGEMers to start their entrepreneurial journeys.

    The BioInnovation Fair isn't merely a platform for startups to engage with potential investors or customers—it's a gathering of aspiring bioinnovators and a diverse array of partners. 🌱 From entrepreneurs and researchers to policymakers and local communities, the fair unites stakeholders from all corners of the synbio ecosystem. At the 2023 BioInnovation Fair, Conservation X Labs, a non-profit organization dedicated to combating the threat of the sixth mass extinction, found an ideal platform to showcase their mission and collaborate with like-minded innovators🌍 "We are really focused on the drivers of biodiversity loss, which are closely interconnected with things like climate change. So, we are looking at the pressures on ecosystems that we can address through technology, and we see a lot of potential in the synthetic biology space, particularly in biosensing applications. We are also exploring replacements for other technologies in synthetic biology that can help implement and find alternatives for food materials." - Chad Gallinat, Director of Foundry at Conservation X Labs Join us at the iGEM Grand Jamboree from October 23-26, 2024, at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, and be a part of the BioInnovation Fair.
