Recommendation

Biology is "the study of living things and life itself," so what does that have to do with manufacturing? Synthetic biology is rapidly turning cells and micro-organisms to the task of manufacturing products for humans. If that sounds like science fiction, be assured that it's not. And if it sounds like syn-bio won't affect your industry, be assured that it will. According to this report from the Boston Consulting Group, that means everything fuel to fabric to food to flavors, will soon have a little help from syn-bio. 

Take-Aways

  • Biology is transforming from an analytical discipline to an engineering pursuit. Syn-bio will improve existing processes and create new products.
  • Some industries will experience syn-bio disruptions sooner than others.
  • Prepare for syn-bio disruptions by familiarizing yourself with new tech, experimenting with opportunities, partnering up, and adding syn-bio pursuits to your portfolio.
