*Separate registration required Curious about synthetic biology but don’t have a science background? This seminar is for you. Join us for a dynamic, half-day journey into the world of engineering biology—designed specifically for executives, investors, policymakers, and the “biocurious.” You’ll learn how scientists are programming living systems to create everything from chemicals and fuels to food, materials, and medicine.

In the fast-changing world of FoodTech, innovations like precision fermentation, plant-based alternatives, and biotechnologies have the potential to revolutionize the industry. However, challenges such as cultural acceptance, consumer skepticism, and economic scalability must be overcome for these innovations to achieve mainstream success. This session will explore the key factors required to bridge the gap from niche products to widespread adoption, including strategies for addressing consumer behavior, unit economics, and market scalability, paving the way for sustainable, scalable food solutions for the future.
