After 24 months of collaboration, innovation, and impact, the SYNBEE project is reaching its conclusion! Launched in January 2023, SYNBEE has been a catalyst for progress in #SyntheticBiology, leaving behind an important legacy. 🧬 SYNBEE: A Collaborative Vision 🧬 - Bringing together 15 leading business, research, and academic institutions from 8 countries, the project harnessed the entrepreneurial potential of Synthetic Biology. By complementing each other in background knowledge, technical expertise, and market experience, a truly innovative ecosystem was created to foster entrepreneurial excellence. 📣 The Mission 📣 SYNBEE – the SYNthetic Biology Entrepreneurial Ecosystem – sought to enhance the entrepreneurial and business skills of young professionals across Europe, specifically in Synthetic Biology. The goal was clear: to train future entrepreneurs equipped to start, scale, internationalise, and build companies in this exciting and commercially under-explored industry. 🔢 SYNBEE in Numbers 🔢 - Duration: 24 months of action and growth - Team: 8 beneficiaries, 7 associated partners, and 15 institutions from 8 countries - Funding: Over €990,000 - Output: 28 detailed reports delivered - Events: 2 matchmaking events, 2 mentorship workshops, 2 pitch competitions, and 2 hackathons - Engagement: 3 newsletters launched, 8 training sessions conducted, and 9 interviews filmed These achievements are a testament to the vision and determination of the #community! We extend our deepest gratitude to the European Commission and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) for their unwavering support and funding. Your commitment to fostering innovation and empowering groundbreaking projects like SYNBEE has made it possible to achieve milestones that will resonate far beyond this initiative. _ _ _ #SYNBEE #SYNBEEProject #EUProject #HorizonProject #SyntheticBiology #Entrepreneurship #SYNBEEinNumbers #AlmostEnding #Events #Outputs #Partners #Teamwork #InnovativeEcosystem _ _ _ Da Vinci Labs | Häme University of Applied Sciences, HAMK | Delft University of Technology | Biocatalyst Foundation | F6S Innovation | Rīgas Tehniskā universitāte (Riga Technical University) | TWB | INRAE Transfert SAS | European Synthetic Biology Society (EUSynBioS)
