We can't believe how much time has passed since SynBioReactor 2025! The event took place in the heart of Berlin on 6 - 7 Feb, bringing together the brightest entrepreneurial minds in synthetic biology. Over two packed days, participants enjoyed a diverse program that combined classic formats such as networking sessions and panel discussions with interactive elements like workshops, fireside chats, and Q&As - all culminating in a pitching competition at Berlin’s historic silent green. From drug development to bio-based materials, the 2025 cohort tackled real-world challenges with bold ideas and startup spirit.

If you are ready to turn science into impact, join us for the next edition of SBR in January 2026.
