The Agile BioFoundry (ABF) invites industry partners to enter collaborations (Strategic Core Industry Partnerships) utilizing biomanufacturing tools and capabilities developed or optimized by ABF consortia labs (see below). From these partnerships, companies can leverage cutting-edge capabilities, facilities, and expertise at U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories. Industry Partners will have the first opportunity to license technologies produced in the course of collaboration under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA). As part of Strategic Core Industry Partnerships, industry partners will provide funding or in-kind support in addition to industry perspective and expertise.
The ABF is a consortium of seven DOE national laboratories that operate as a distributed biofoundry in collaboration with industry and academia. We have worked with more than 30 partners developing biomanufacturing tools and processes to enable sustainable industrial production of renewable fuels and chemicals. Learn more about ABF capabilities and details on collaborations.
