Last week, we had the privilege of attending a landmark event at the White House focused on Safe, Secure, and Sustainable Supply Chains through Biomanufacturing. Organized by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy's, the event emphasized the significant achievements and future potential of President Biden's Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation. It was great to be surrounded by so many key stakeholders of the US bioeconomy and to celebrate the remarkable progress made by the Biden-Harris Administration. For the full list of achievements, including investments from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), United States Department of Defense, National Science Foundation (NSF), and USDA, check out fact sheet at https://lnkd.in/e2FNTcwi Events like this one make our team excited about the ongoing dialogue and collaborative efforts to advance the US bioeconomy. #bioeconomy #biomanufacturing #fermentation #precisionfermentation #policy #whitehouse #deeptech #sustainability

Curious why strain engineering is crucial for the future of biomanufacturing? Join Synonym, in collaboration with EV Biotech, Vectron Biosolutions AS, SynBioBeta and Enduro Genetics, for an insightful discussion on the critical role of strain engineering in the commercialization of bioproducts. Synonym and the Boston Consulting Group (BCG)’s recent report reveals that economies of scale alone are not sufficient for commercializing industrial bioproducts. Optimized strains designed for scale are pivotal for unlocking the massive potential of biomanufacturing in the coming decades. Our expert panel will explore the significance of strain optimization and its impact on increasing productivity, enhancing product quality, and achieving cost efficiency in biomanufacturing processes. 📅 Date: July 17, 2024 🕒 Time: 4pm to 5pm CET 📍 Register here: https://lnkd.in/ey4VDbzA Hear from an incredible lineup of industry leaders, and experts: Crystal Bleecher, PE, VP (Science & Engineering) at Synonym Christian Munch, CEO at Enduro Genetics Linda Dijkshoorn, CCO and Founder at EV Biotech Trond Erik Vee Aune, CEO at Vectron Biosolutions AS Fiona Mischel (moderator), Director (International) at SynBioBeta Don't miss out on this opportunity to shape the future of sustainable development through biomanufacturing.

Synonym is thrilled to share that the Biden-Harris Administration, through the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration (EDA), has announced a ~$51M funding award for iFab, one of the EDA's twelve designated Tech Hubs formed to scale up the production of critical technologies. Synonym is proud to celebrate this significant milestone alongside our fellow iFAB Tech Hub consortium members. Together, we have big plans to transform Central Illinois into a major hub for biomanufacturing infrastructure, supporting national security, economic growth, and job creation. "This announcement underscores the importance of biomanufacturing as a crucial platform for American manufacturing dominance in the 21st century," said Edward Shenderovich, Co-Founder and CEO of Synonym. "This funding will directly contribute to more bioproducts on the market and into the hands of consumers. We're grateful to the iFab consortium for including us as members and for their hard work and vision to bring these projects to fruition -- on our way to making Central Illinois a global leader in biomanufacturing."

Central Illinois is becoming the epicenter of biomanufacturing.📍 Led by the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the iFAB Tech Hub has secured a $51 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to create zero-emission, high-value products from agricultural commodities. This funding will propel our region to the forefront of precision fermentation, boosting national security and economic growth. 🚀 Learn more about how this initiative could revolutionize manufacturing: https://lnkd.in/gPqp64yk ------------------- ADM, Champaign County EDC, Synonym, Primient, Economic Development Corporation of Decatur and Macon County

A new report from TEConomy Partners shows that the industrial bioeconomy is a massive driver of growth in America. The report is quite thorough, but if you don't have time to dive in, we’ve got you covered. The main takeaway? In 2023, the US bioeconomy was responsible for generating and supporting nearly 644,000 jobs and $210 billion of output. The Synonym team is dedicated to pushing the bioeconomy forward and is confident that this momentum will only accelerate in 2024! Check out the carousel below for more key stats from the report.

We are very excited to welcome our third new teammate in the past few weeks to the Synonym team and want to share that Milo Knowles is joining us as a Senior Software Engineer! Milo is a software engineer with a background in full-stack web development, machine learning, and robotics. He’s built software in several areas of climate-tech over the past 4+ years, including energy, food, and carbon markets. Milo began his career at Singularity Energy, where he helped develop a data platform for grid decarbonization. Most recently, he co-founded a company that leverages carbon crediting to fund sustainable food projects. He’s excited to join Synonym to build tools and infrastructure for the bioeconomy. Milo holds a B.S in Computer Science and M.Eng in Artificial Intelligence from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and is based in the Boston area. In his free time, you’ll probably find him biking, running, or doing laps at the pool. Welcome aboard, Milo! 🎉 #biomanufacturing #bioeconomy #newhire #startups #team

"If the 20th century was the century of chemistry, the 21st century will be the century of biology. This holds immense promise and creates a phenomenal opportunity around new sustainable materials, energy, and food production, making biomanufacturing a key pathway for addressing climate change." A huge thank you to our investor, Giant Ventures, for having us and hosting the incredible Giant Ideas 2024 this past week at the iconic Tate Modern in London! It was great and inspiring to be around so many people who are forging the future we all want to live in, sharing their giant ideas and sparking incredible conversations in climate and health. We can’t wait for next year's summit and to see the magic that emerges from yesterday! #biomanufacturing #climatetech #sustainability #bioeconomy #fermentation #precisionfermentation #deeptech

Well said, Bill Gates and Eric Toone! Bioproducts offer better, safer, and cleaner alternatives, but they're not yet as cost-effective as traditional products. To bridge this gap, we need bold innovation and strategic investments from startups, large companies, governments and all the other key players in the bioeconomy. At Synonym, we're passionate about driving this transformation - let's work together to create a greener future. #bioeconomy #biomanufacturing #synbio #fermentation #precisionfermentation #deeptech #cleantech #sustainability
