Our take
As an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional farming, biomanufacturing of food proteins is a key part of humanity's future. But although the science is ready, the infrastructure is not, and the cost of production at scale is preventing revolutionary and essential products from reaching the supply chain.
Synonym exists to support biomanufacturing firms in building production facilities that will allow their products to compete with and outperform traditional sources of protein. With global food production responsible for about a third of carbon emissions (the majority of which is in the production of proteins), this work is vital.
Synonym aims to develop standardized designs for biofermentation facilities that its customers will be able to use instead of making their own at vast expense. This proposal has seen the company raise considerable funds that have supported its development so far. It has also announced a 32,000L+ fermentation scale-up facility in Illinois, in partnership with Primient, will be coming in early 2026.
