Insempra

We are thrilled to announce that Insempra has advanced to Stage 2 of the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIND) Biomanufacturing Challenge! With a €2 million project budget, our innovative 'BioTreasure' project will continue its mission to transform diverse carbon-rich waste streams—such as plastics, used cooking oil, and plant residues—into valuable bio-based alternatives for high-tech applications through sustainable biomanufacturing 👉 Watch our video to learn more about this groundbreaking project, and check out the full press release here: https://lnkd.in/eYqsqA_2 This next phase will focus on scaling production and proving the economic viability of our technology, all while contributing to a more circular economy. A huge thank you to our team, partners and SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen who made this milestone possible. #Insempra #BioTreasure #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Biomanufacturing #Innovation

The first day of the Jamboree has wrapped up, and we're thrilled with how successful the panels were in showcasing SynBio innovations across various sectors! 🎉🌱 Here’s a quick recap of the early afternoon sessions on October 23rd: 1. Driving Innovation for a Sustainable Future: Climate & Environmental Solutions 🌍🔋 This panel featured SynBio startups focused on creating climate-friendly and sustainable solutions. Key takeaways: - Patrick Torbey (CEO, Neoplants) emphasized that startups should focus on solving tech challenges rather than market challenges. 💡 - Lars Friberg (Climate Strategist at Vinnova) shared how AI is increasingly being used for climate portfolio analysis and SynBio innovations to enhance regulatory and public acceptance. 🤖🌿 - Luisa Gronenberg from Insempra pointed out the significant need for more scale-up facilities, particularly in Europe, to support SynBio startups. 🚀🏗️ - Ferdinand Vermersch, Investor at Giant Ventures highlighted the importance of startups having a clear technological roadmap to ensure value creation in the short, medium, and long term, encouraging startups to build value throughout different growth stages to bridge Series B funding gaps. 📊💼 2. Shaping the Future of Sustainable Food Systems through AgTech 🌾🍽️ This panel highlighted the challenges faced by startups in the AgTech space and those supporting the ecosystem. From the VC perspective, Darius Zarrabian, Senior Analyst at FoodLabs emphasized that AgTech is a long-term investment, with GOURMEY’s Head of R&D, Remy Kusters pointing out that regulatory approval is especially tough for novel food products, and Iain George, Analytical Performance Manager at Danone adding that there are high barriers to market entry. 🚧⚖️ On the innovations side, Olivier TOMAT from Executive Director of Entrepreneurship and Acceleration Genopole shared that SynBio startups in the bioreactor and scale-up space hold great potential, with the industry still in its early stages. 🔬🚀 💡For aspiring bio-founders in Food and AgTech, the panelists stressed the importance of understanding regulations and actively involving scientists from academia and industry in regulatory discussions. They also highlighted scalability, a long-term vision, and having a unique value proposition (USP) for sustainable growth. 🌍🔬 Big thanks to Alya M. and Camila Gaspar Quinonez, PhD for moderating the panels! 🙌 iGEM Startups has just released the Annual Report 2024, offering insights into the sectors our startups are tackling and their vast potential. 📈Download it at bit.ly/StartupsReport2024!

Our VP of Tech Integration and Strain Development Luisa Gronenberg will be a panelist at this year's iGEM Startups Grand Jamboree. Tomorrow's panel will be taking a deep dive into technologies and strategies tackling environmental challenges. We look forward to learning about all the innovative projects the teams bring to the competition and to connecting with fellow synthetic biologists from around the world! 👉 Feel free to reach out to Luisa to connect. #igem #igem2024 #biotech #futureofsustainability #naturecodesign

Our team is thrilled to have been chosen to continue developing our project BioTreasure in collaboration with SPRIND. This next phase will allow us to take significant strides in proving the market competitiveness of circular biomanufacturing, while continuing to address some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges.

We're excited to be attending BDI - Bundesverband der Deutschen Industrie e.V.'s InnoNation Festival in Berlin today. Insempra's Founder & CEO, Jens Klein will be joining five other biotech panellists for "Pitch for Progress" – a discussion on potential future challenges and opportunities for BioTech start-ups in Germany. The focus will be on topics such as financing, research funding and the regulatory framework. The importance of biotech for Germany can be illustrated by the strong drive for innovation and the high quality of research. Examples of this include the development of new therapies, the improvement of diagnostic procedures and the creation of sustainable production processes. #innonation #biotech #innovation #futureofsustainability #bioengineering #biomanufacturing #biodesign #regenerative #insempra #sustainability #circular #biofabrication #climatetech #personalcare #beauty #biodesign #biotechbeauty #bioeconomy #futurebeauty #deeptech #biomaterials

🔄 Towards Circularity (Primary) raw materials are becoming increasingly scarce. Their extraction and processing place an excessive burden on the earth through poor waste valorization, greenhouse gas emissions, biodiversity loss, and exorbitant water consumption. Creating a more circular economy is the foundation for countering these issues. Recycled and biogenic materials, prolonged product lifespans, and valorizing and repurposing are key. Our VP of Technology & Strain Engineering, Luisa Gronenberg, will be speaking at the joint symposium on June 24 to 25, 2024, which from two funding programs: ‘Circularity with recycled and biogenic resources’ by the VolkswagenStiftung, and the ‘Circular Biomanufacturing’ Challenge by the SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen federal agency. 👉 Find out more about the symposium here: https://lnkd.in/eAxk8KXv #synbio #biotech #innovation #futureofsustainability #bioengineering #biodesign #regenerative #insempra #sustainability #circular #biofabrication #climatetech #personalcare #beauty #biodesign #biotechbeauty #bioeconomy #futurebeauty #deeptech #biomaterials

Harnessing AI to optimize biotech processes! 🌱💡 We're excited to announce that Robert Blaszczyk, Research Associate for downstream bioprocess process design & manufacturing, is attending the 14th Advanced Process Data Analytics Course from June 17th to 19th, 2024, in Zurich! 🚀 At this event, Robert will be engaging in all things Bioprocessing 4.0 – where data analytics and AI intersect with biomanufacturing. The course aims to provide an overview and advanced insight into data analytics and modelling methodologies for process data. Different lectures will present concepts to visualize high-dimensional and highly correlated process and product quality data to identify the important process drivers and forecast process and product quality behaviour. Our focus: process intensification, software automation, and smarter bioprocessing models. 📊🤖 👉🏼 Learn more about the 14th Advanced Process Data Analytics Course here: https://lnkd.in/dherE_WJ #biotech #biomanufacturing #AI #dataanalytics #processoptimization #sustainability
