Looking to Nature for the Next Industrial Revolution – Synthetic Biology 

There’s another industrial revolution forming, and it promises to be at least as far reaching as the ones before it. Because this revolution is taking shape across multiple technologies—game-changing advances in fields ranging from artificial intelligence (AI) to gene editing to quantum computing—its potential and reach are not immediately evident. 

But Synthetic Biology has become a disruptive force that is birthing the Bio Economy. Biology is usually defined as the study of living things and life itself, but Synthetic Biology has turned the science into the manufacturing paradigm of the future. Microorganisms can, in theory, make many of the things that industrial processes currently manufacture, so Synthetic Biology —the design and engineering of biological systems to create and improve processes and products—offers new ways of producing almost everything that human beings consume, from flavors and fabrics to foods and fuels.

Synthetic Biology Is transforming products and processes. A silver bullet in our quest to create a bioeconomy which is built by biology and has sustainability at its core.
