Today marks a critical moment for U.S. biotechnology leadership. The National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) has released its final report—an urgent call for Congress and the broader innovation ecosystem to act decisively. Its message is clear: biotechnology is no longer just a scientific frontier—it’s a strategic imperative for national security, economic competitiveness, and global influence. The report outlines six pillars for action, ranging from mobilizing the private sector and modernizing regulation to building a skilled workforce and deepening global partnerships. These recommendations call for a bold, coordinated public-private approach—something Synonym is deeply committed to enabling. Our team welcomes this report as a landmark effort to align national priorities with the realities of today’s global technology race. We were especially proud to see our report with Boston Consulting Group (BCG) cited as a key resource—underscoring the urgent need for scalable biomanufacturing infrastructure to support U.S. leadership in this space. We’re in Washington, D.C. this week for The Special Competitive Studies Project - SCSP’s AI+ Biotechnology Summit, where the report and its recommendations will be at the center of the conversation. We look forward to engaging with leaders across sectors to advance this critical work.

What if one of the keys to unlocking affordable, large-scale biomanufacturing lies in optimizing the facilities we already have? Our report with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) outlines how facility optimization can drastically reduce biomanufacturing costs, paving the way for broader adoption of precision fermentation technologies. Companies can leverage innovations in process engineering to improve costs across four key areas: Variable costs: Innovations related to waste biomass valorization and water recycling can lower energy and material expenses. Fixed costs: Modular, highly automated systems enable quicker construction timelines, reduce labor demands, and support predictive maintenance with AI and sensors. Facility throughput: Enhanced downstream processing recovery and minimized fermentor turnaround times boost production capacity. Factory utilization: Standardized equipment and flow parallelization allow for multi use flexibility, driving cost improvement potential by 5 to 15 percentage points. Not all optimizations require groundbreaking technology—many involve process improvements that reduce energy demand, labor, and maintenance costs. By adopting these strategies, companies can enhance facility economics and unlock the potential for large-scale biomanufacturing. Synonym has the expertise to help you build a strategy to optimize costs through targeted process improvements and innovative solutions.

Precision fermentation is revolutionizing multiple industries, but which application is the next big market disruptor? In our report with the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), we estimate that by 2040, scaling up industrial precision fermentation can represent a $200 billion opportunity across the specialty chemicals (est. $50 billion), food (est. $100 billion), and chemical precursors (est. $50 billion) markets. This estimate is about 7x of its current market size and will only be attainable if companies build enough production capacity to lower costs. To serve this growing market, we'll need to develop standardized biofoundries, with construction focusing on higher-margin, lower-volume molecules first. Biofoundries are facilities that can provide at least 2 million liters of capacity, achieving commercial economics and bridging the cost gap for non-pharma bioproducts by reducing unit costs by about 50%. For more on what it will take to unlock this $200 billion opportunity in precision fermentation, check out our full report with BCG: https://lnkd.in/eZ96CkjR Scaling precision fermentation starts with the right partners.
