From AI protein design to real-world commercial impact: powering the next wave of everyday products
For more than a century, everyday products - from detergents and shampoos to textiles and packaging - have relied on petrochemicals and harsh industrial processes. Today, AI-driven protein design is opening a radically different path: creating custom enzymes and biomolecules that outperform traditional chemistry while reducing environmental impact. This session explores how advances in computational protein design and machine learning enable the rational creation of enzymes tailored for home care, personal care, and next-generation materials—moving beyond incremental discovery to purpose-built performance under real industrial conditions. Critically, this highlights how AI-driven design is being translated into commercially deployed products at scale with partners and customers.

SynBioBeta is where the people building with biology meet the people funding, buying, and partnering with them. If you're raising capital, scouting the next wave of AIxBIO companies, or looking for your next technology partner - the people you need are here for three days.
The startups on stage this year are building programmable RNA medicines, virtual cell models, AI-designed enzymes, and proteins that replace sugar - alongside GSK, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, Eli Lilly, J&J, Mars, Apple, Google, NVIDIA, Unilever, and P&G.
Watching where the partnerships form and which technologies the biggest players are actually evaluating is something you can't get from a report or a webinar. And our 1:1 Partnering App lets you book meetings before you arrive.
“SynBioBeta is a who’s who of AI and biology.
This is where the future is being built, so don't miss it”

Eric Schmidt
Former CEO
"For every single fund at Boom Capital, one of our best companies has come directly from SynBioBeta. I met Mammoth Bio at SynBioBeta, and I met Nabla Bio at SynBioBeta."
Celestine Schnugg
Founder
"Nabla was accelerated into existence because of SynBioBeta. I met Seth Bannon from 50 Years, Cee Cee Schnugg from Boom Capital, and others from Y Combinator there, and those same people seeded Nabla. The vibe, leverage, and energy at SynBioBeta are unreal."

"Our Series A came together because of a little bit of SynBioBeta magic. I’ve been attending for a decade and it’s been inspiring to watch the field evolve from a lot of hopes and dreams to real products and applications."

"I met Algen at SynBioBeta and later invested in the company. It’s exactly the kind of connection that makes the community so valuable."

Bill Tai
Co-founder
"At SynBioBeta I met the team at Biomatter, an AI-driven enzyme design company. The environment made it easy to start a real conversation. That conversation turned into a collaboration to improve one of our enzymes. We're now exploring entirely new performance possibilities together."
