Why People Keep Coming Back

"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."

Jacob Glanville

Centivax

"Honored to be a part of SynBioBeta in May 2026. While I've been a VC backing tech companies for decades, it's only recently — with AI permeating the health and longevity sectors — that I've accelerated my funding into the sector. I'm seeing that already in the companies I've backed, including Algen Biotechnologies (AI + CRISPR drug discovery) — a company I first discovered at SynBioBeta. This is a BIG WAVE 🌊"

Bill Tai

ACTAI Global

"Every time I attend SynBioBeta, I walk away with something transformative – a new investor, a fantastic hire, or an idea that changes how we work."

Ola Wlodek

Constructive Bio

"A conference not to be missed -- this is the place for SynBio power users, experts, key opinion leaders, investors, vendors, students and novices."
