About
In light of anticipated surges in the global requisition for chemicals and materials, there arises a concomitant potential for economic expansion. However, this uptick is shadowed by environmental concerns, given the energy profligacy and associated harmful emissions of conventional production modalities. Notably, nascent synthetic biology methodologies present promising avenues for redressing these environmental challenges. As the clarion call for cleaner and more efficacious technologies amplifies among consumers and governing bodies, industrial and international collaborative efforts become imperative to facilitate the large-scale adoption of these sustainable innovations.

Pioneers in Pharma Manufacturing: Using Synthetic Biology to Build New, Innovative Complex Chemical Structures
-
As demand for genetic medicines grows, traditional manufacturing methods are reaching their limits. Leaders in pharma and synbio explore what’s driving innovation in cell and gene therapy (CGT), RNA/DNA therapeutics, and other complex manufacturing spaces, with insights from plasmid DNA production, vaccine manufacturing, and the broader chemicals sector.

Computational Protein Design for Sustainable Textile Innovation
-
Biotechnology and artificial intelligence are poised to redefine the textile industry by enabling the creation of biodegradable, high-performance fibres without generating the same environmental impact. These fibres can be designed at the molecular level for specific characteristics such as strength, softness, and functionality, all while remaining non-toxic and free from harsh chemicals. By combining bio-based manufacturing methods with machine learning, this approach replaces petroleum-based synthetics and offers a scalable, sustainable solution for fashion and performance wear.
The View (of Synbio) From Global Chemical Industry Leaders
-
Huge opportunities to help the multi-trillion dollar global chemical industry to transform its global footprint more sustainably. But so far, adoption has been limited. This panel will delve deeper into the opportunities and realities for synthetic biology to accelerate its impact into the crucial market.
