Colorifix is revolutionising textile dyeing 🌿 Industrial textile dyeing consumes massive amounts of water and energy and has an enormous carbon footprint. Colorifix has pioneered the first entirely biological process to produce, deposit, and fix pigments onto textiles. Using a synthetic biology approach, it offers a radically different solution to incumbent dyeing technologies that cut the use of harsh chemicals and lead to huge reductions in water consumption. Founded by Dr Jim Ajioka, Orr Yarkoni and David Nugent in the Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge, their operations are expanding internationally, with clients like H&M, PANGAIA and Vollebak.

What makes Cambridge unique? At yesterday's 2024 Innovate Cambridge Summit, we unveiled a new innovation narrative for the Greater Cambridge region. This narrative aims to globally showcase our ideas, talent, and track record in innovation, representing a shared vision, story, and ambition for our community. Starting with a simple premise: If you know what Cambridge can do and enable, it’s truly remarkable. However, without this knowledge, it can seem amazingly complex. Our goal was clear: to create a consistent, shared message with a timeless design. The result is something that belongs and is used by everyone.
