Genomatica and two fellow synthetic biology companies have announced the launch of the Synthetic Biology (SynBio) Coalition, which will promote investment and support for the American synthetic biology industry.
Working in collaboration with the US federal government, the SynBio Coalition aims to support the development and growth of the world's advanced biomanufacturing industry in the United States, contributing to technologies that will improve access to medicine, create more sustainable and productive farming practices, help transform industrial manufacturing, and unlock a next generation of products across numerous industries.
"America's strengths in synbio innovation and growing crops can power a new era of industrial growth and prosperity, while making the products we use every day, better and more sustainable," said Christophe Schilling, co-founder and CEO at Genomatica. "Synbio manufacturing of widely-used materials can bring back many industries that have moved overseas. This coalition is a great step in building broad support for the policies needed to drive this opportunity."
Joining Genomatica is Antheia of Menlo Park, CA and Ginkgo Bioworks of Boston, MA.
Creating a national synthetic biology infrastructure and manufacturing base will strengthen the US position as a global leader in technology and innovation, help grow a robust and resilient domestic supply chain, support the development of a next-generation workforce, and empower next generation, sustainable manufacturing, according to SynBio.
