Synonym

Why is New York City one of the best places in the world for Climate Tech? With its vibrant ecosystem of capital, talent, and mission-driven founders, NYC has become a launchpad for breakthrough technologies—one of the reasons Synonym chose the city as our HQ. Since 2021, $3.5B in venture capital has flowed into the climate tech sector, with NYC startups raising $664M in 2023 alone. It’s a place where pioneers and investors converge to forge new partnerships and scale innovative solutions. Want to hear more from our CEO and co-founder, Edward, and other Climate Tech leaders? Join us in Brooklyn this December 12-13th for HackSummit, where 500+ Climate Deep Tech innovators will gather to drive impact and discuss the latest in the industry.

In case you missed it, some big news earlier this week from our partner Primient. We’re thrilled to see the announcement of Primient’s co-location partnership with Sustainea that will bring the first commercial-scale Bio-MEG facility in the U.S. to life. This project will not only advance bioproduct innovation, but also is further proof that the U.S. Midwest is rapidly becoming a hub for both domestic and global biomanufacturing. With projects like the new Bio-MEG facility in Lafayette and our joint project iPROOF in Decatur, Illinois, Primient is leading the way in building a more sustainable future and reinforcing the region’s position at the forefront of the bioeconomy.

Curious what the United States Department of Defense's focus areas are in building domestic biomanufacturing capabilities? In a recent episode of the 5 Year Frontier Podcast with Daniel Darling, our CEO, Edward Shenderovich, dove into the DoD’s critical role in developing key technologies like the internet to now spearheading the domestic bioeconomy. Watch below as Edward discusses the 5 focus areas driving this transformation: Fuel, Fitness, Fabrication, Firepower and Food.

What a great experience at the Sifted Summit last week in London! Our co-founder and CEO, Edward Shenderovich, joined Steven Meersman from Zenobē, Katya Constant from The Climate Brick, and Freya Pratty from Sifted to dive into how climate tech companies can tap into big infrastructure funders. Thanks to the Sifted team for putting on a great event and bringing together so much passion and energy driving the future of climate tech. #siftedsummit #climatetech #infrastructure #bioeconomy #biomanufacturing #fermentation #precisionfermentation #deeptech

A few weeks ago, our team gathered in Montreal for a great company offsite! We reflected on this year's progress and laid out exciting plans for Q4 and beyond in the bioeconomy. As a distributed team, it’s always valuable to collaborate in person. We even took a break to explore Montreal on a walking tour of the city’s vibrant street art (see a highlight of the walk below!). We’re looking forward to finishing the year strong and driving even more progress in 2025.

In case you missed it last week, Synonym was thrilled to co-host a breakfast event during #ClimateWeekNYC with Accenture and IndieBio. We brought together leaders from global CPGs, fashion companies, and biotech startups to explore the opportunities and challenges in scaling bio-innovation for everyday products. From precision-fermented milk to sustainable fabrics, the energy in the room was electric as we discussed bold ideas for the future. Some of the biggest takeaways (thank you Fiona Bennie and Vlad Oncescu, PhD!) from the discussion were: 1) Bio-innovation is set to transform multiple, mainstream sectors. 2) Collaboration in the ecosystem is key to unlocking new growth pathways. 3) Consumer-centricity is crucial for driving bioproduct adoption. Check out Fiona’s full post below to learn more about the takeaways and thank you to all who joined and contributed! #bioeconomy #biomanufacturing #fermentation #precisionfermentation #climatetech #biotech #foodtech

We had an incredible time hosting breakfast earlier this week with Accenture and SOSV IndieBio to cap off Climate Week in NYC! We brought together industry leaders for a roundtable discussion that dove into how emerging biotechnologies are transforming consumer products, from supply chains to ingredients and product portfolios. Much of the food we ate, the cosmetics we tested – even the straws we used – were products of biomanufacturing available for purchase right now. The trickle will only become a flood, as companies realize the performance, health and sustainability profiles of bioproducts mean they belong urgently on ingredient lists. A special thank you to all of the next-gen food and beverage brands that had product included in the event - Bored Cow, Tomorrow Farms, Oobli, The Crop Project, ZBiotics, Nature's Fynd, Fable Food Co, and MeliBio. #bioeconomy #biomanufacturing #fermentation #precisionfermentation #climatetech #climateweekNYC #deeptech

Which products that we use in our everyday lives can be produced using biology? Kelsey Weimer, our Director of Strategy & Partnerships, covered this and much more during her keynote talk at World Bio Markets & Bio Innovations Midwest! Our team had a great time at the event, connecting with fellow industry leaders and contributing to the conversation about driving the growth of industrial biomanufacturing in the U.S. With our newest project, iPROOF (part of the iFAB Tech Hub), located in Decatur, IL, this event was especially important for us as we continue to contribute to the region’s leadership in biomanufacturing. If you missed Kelsey’s keynote on standardizing biomanufacturing project development, feel free to reach out to our team at [email protected] to learn more about how you can partner with Synonym to strenghten your biomanufacturing strategy.
