Synovance is a biotechnology startup. Thanks to a proprietary synthetic genomic platform that dramatically improves the efficiency of purpose-built secondary genomes inserted into bacteria, we are developing bio-produced textile dyes that can significantly reduce the environmental footprint of the textile industry – with the same performance as petrochemical dyes. Our genomic platform can also have applications in many other industries looking for alternatives to oil-based products.
