SynBioBeta hosts international synthetic biology conferences and events that give anyone the opportunity to meet with the bright minds building and shaping the bioeconomy. In light of the UK Government’s Green Paper on the UK Industrial Strategy, published January 2017, collaboration within the scientific community has never been so crucial. It will enable us to capitalise on the UK’s strengths in research and innovation such as robotics, clean energy and biotechnology.

From tech practitioners, academics, investors and industry members, this is sure to be fantastic event. Don’t miss your chance to register.

We look forward to keeping you updated on SynBioBeta news in the run up to this exciting event.
