Agile BioFoundry’s 2024 Industry Day

We are excited to announce the Agile BioFoundry’s (ABF) 2024 Industry Day, to be held virtually on Sept. 12, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time (12:00 pm – 6:30 pm Eastern Time). Register here to join us via Zoom and learn more about ABF’s capabilities and opportunities to engage in joint research efforts. 

Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), ABF aims to develop biomanufacturing tools, processes, and partnerships that enable sustainable industrial production of renewable fuels and chemicals for the nation. 

Attendees will learn about ABF’s strategy to support US biomanufacturing and current industry needs, discover ABF’s tools, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and biochemical focus areas, listen to past and present ABF collaborators discuss their experiences, and share views on how ABF can help the community further their research as it relates to industry decarbonization and the advancement of SAFs, chemicals, and tools.
