Synthetic biology for a sustainable future
Our rich conference agenda features a fantastic line up of speakers who will debate how synbio can tackle the challenges of climate change, the opportunities that AI is creating for accelerating progress in medicine, and how investors view the sector.
These unmissable two days of inspiring talks, passionate debate, insightful questions and illuminating ideas from leading speakers and audience members will ensure that everyone leaves SynbiTECH 2023 better informed and able to take the synbio revolution forward.
Plus, with ample networking opportunities each day, this London-based synthetic biology meeting is the perfect opportunity to connect with future collaborators and industry enablers.
