Today we are excited to announce our partnership with Synonym. The partnership breaks new ground for how companies of all sizes can model, prove out, de-risk, and scale up functional, biobased products using precision fermentation which are better for people and planet. It is a match made to fast track bioproduct launches and fuel the U.S. bioeconomy. Our inaugural project together - iPROOF – is planned at Primient’s Decatur, IL campus and includes re-commissioning and upgrading existing fermentation assets at the site as well as expanding current capacity. Once completed, the facility will offer comprehensive wrap-around services for companies to prove out concepts through to commercial scale. The iPROOF project is also part of the larger iFAB Tech Hub initiative led by the University of Illinois Champaign Urbana’s Integrated Bioprocessing Research Laboratory which was recently awarded $51 million in U.S. Economic Development Administration's Tech Hub Grant Funding to establish a world class precision fermentation hub in Central Illinois.

Today, we are thrilled to announce a strategic joint venture that will accelerate bioproduct innovation and commercialization. Synonym and Primient have partnered to propel the bioeconomy forward. By combining forces – Synonym's expertise in data-driven biomanufacturing infrastructure with Primient's century-long leadership in operations and renewable, plant-based ingredients – we're fast-tracking the development and scale-up of next-gen bioproducts. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in advancing the US bioeconomy, providing the infrastructure and support companies need to bring next-gen bioproducts to market. Our first project, iPROOF, based at Primient’s Decatur, IL facility, will focus on re-commissioning and upgrading existing fermentation assets and expanding current capacity to demonstration scale. This project is part of the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA)’s recent $51 million grant to the iFAB Tech Hub, which supports advancements in precision fermentation and biomanufacturing. The joint facility will offer comprehensive wrap-around services for companies using precision fermentation to prove out concepts through to commercial scale.

How will we overcome biomanufacturing's scale-cost paradox? Standardization, modularization, and productization. Check out the clip below of our co-founder and chief business officer, Joshua Lachter speaking on the main stage at this year's SynBioBeta conference alongside Boston Consulting Group (BCG)'s Jean-Francois Bobier. The two dove deep into the recent report our teams co-authored that highlights biomanufacturing's massive potential in the coming decades. Looking forward to more of this at the SynBioBeta conference next year! #synbiobeta #biomanufacturing #scaleup #bioeconomy #fermentation #precisionfermentation #climatetech #deeptech #synbio
Navigating #Biomanufacturing's Biggest Challenge: The Scale-Cost Paradox. Joshua Lachter of Synonym believes that in 2050, over 50% of the #petrochemicals we use in everyday life will be replaced with #bioproducts. Watch the video at https://lnkd.in/gg_xYkUi #environment #energy #climate

When is the right time for techno-economic analysis (TEA)? In our strain engineering webinar last week, our panelists emphasized that it's never too early to begin this crucial step. Strain engineering and techno-economic analysis (TEA) are two important pieces of the scale-up puzzle. Understanding what your unit economics look like at different scales and what combination of fermentation parameters is required to achieve economic viability helps you focus R&D resources on the most important efforts. Starting TEA early ensures a smoother path to commercialization and helps achieve optimal outcomes. Looking to get started with a TEA? Contact our team today and we'll be in touch. #bioeconomy #biomanufacturing #strainengineering #climatetech #fermentation #precisionfermentation #technoeconomicanalysis
