The Agile BioFoundry (ABF) is excited to announce its 2025 Industry Day, to be held on November 4, 2025 from 8:00 A.M. – 5:00 P.M. in Emeryville, CA. Register here to join us and discover partnering opportunities and provide your perspective on how U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Labs can best support the biomanufacturing industry.
Funded by the DOE Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), ABF develops biomanufacturing tools, processes and partnerships that enable industrial production of affordable fuels and chemicals for the nation.
The in-person Industry Day will include:
- Lightning talks by ABF scientists on our national laboratory capabilities
- Panels on emerging technical themes in biomanufacturing
- A networking lunch with ABF scientists
- Roundtable discussions on topics suggested by attendees
- A tour of ABF’s Berkeley Lab facilities
- Optional one-on-one meetings with ABF scientists
The event will be held at Emery Station East, 5885 Hollis St, 4th floor, Emeryville, CA. In-person attendance is strongly encouraged, as only certain portions of the event will be available via Zoom.
