This is a big day for European biotechnology and for Europe. To build from the immense research base that Europe pioneered to achieve resilient food chains within Europe, reach climate goals, support agriculture, transition to biomanufacturing and provide the capacity for crisis response. It is a first step towards modernised regulation for NGTs and EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries will carry the torch for micro-organisms and beyond so that we achieve a Europe that is right for citizens, the environment and the economy.

Synonym just launched Scaler—a first-of-its-kind FREE techno-economic analysis (TEA) tool that enables fermentation companies to accelerate their path to market! 🦠 📈 Fermentation technologies carry immense potential across many different applications ranging from sustainable proteins to medicines, materials, and more. 🔑 The first step to unlocking this potential is for companies to build long-term manufacturing plans, which has proven to be a complex and costly challenge. Recognising that challenge, Synonym has made its TEA tool available to all in the synthetic biology community, thereby enabling companies to project their production and operation costs at a commercial scale. With Scaler’s customised outputs, companies can start setting their commercial roadmaps and manufacturing strategies. This is just the latest in a series of steps that Synonym has taken to accelerate commercial-scale biomanufacturing. Last year, they launched Capacitor—a tool that catalogues all existing fermentation capacity—which has quickly become the most comprehensive directory of its kind in the world. 🙌 👉 https://capacitor.bio/ 💪 Together, Capacitor and Scaler provide the fermentation ecosystem with a powerful and accessible suite of tools to guide companies along their scale-up journey. Curious as to how Scaler works? Test it out here ➡️ https://scaler.bio/

In recent years, we've seen precision fermentation processes make great progress in the lab, with the development of new molecules and genetic strains. But what has been kept these products from achieving mass adoption and full potential? Biomanufacturing costs. In our new report with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), we analyze why with the exception of pharma—whose business models are mainly built on high-margin, low-volume products with low sensitivity to costs—and a few other product categories, precision fermentation and biomanufacturing have not yet proved to be economically viable at commercial scale. Enter biofoundries—facilities that are designed, built, optimized, and standardized for efficient and economic production of nonpharma bioproducts. Each such facility can provide at least 2 million liters of capacity, achieving commercial economics and bridging the cost gap by reducing unit costs by 50%. More advanced facilities, along with improved strains, can reduce production costs by up to 90%, achieving or surpassing price parity with current incumbent methods for most products. Standardization and optimization provide biofoundries with significant advantages over existing large-scale biomanufacturing facilities, particularly with respect to cost, timeline, and adaptability. This approach not only mitigates risks but also helps make biofoundries a versatile solution that can meet evolving needs and advances in future strains. Serving the $200 billion market for specialty bioproducts will require a 20-fold expansion of current production capacity. That's a lot of capacity to develop and build and the Synonym team is up to the challenge.

It was a great collaboration to map out what bio-based, bio-inspired and biotechnologies can do to reduce food loss and waste. Because we can’t fight #foodloss and #foodwaste with diversion. #bioengineering #biotechnology

The future of cell manufacturing is full of potential. From pioneering a revolutionary new food system to developing transformative treatments and groundbreaking medicines, cell manufacturing is at the core of positive progress in the years ahead. Our new trend report dives into the factors that will drive success at a commercial scale, as well as highlighting core challenges and opportunities in the field. Combining insights from a curated selection of experts and the results of our industry-wide survey, the report shows scaling up is key to making cell-manufactured products commercially viable, and by embracing automated processes and addressing the inefficiencies at the processing stage, manufacturers can unleash their ambitions – meeting the demands of a growing market.
