Ferment 2023 – Tune into the conference!
Watch the Ferment livestream here!
Today, we’re thrilled to be hosting our annual conference, Ferment! The conference brings together stakeholders from across the synthetic biology community, including customers, suppliers, academics, journalists, and many more.
Because the event has reached its in-person capacity limits, you can watch a livestream on Ginkgo’s YouTube page and our Investor Relations page.
Ferment will begin with a keynote address from Ginkgo co-founder and CEO Jason Kelly, who will discuss the value that outsourcing R&D to a horizontal platform creates for customers across markets, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and industrial biotechnology. His presentation will also introduce new services offerings. These services offerings – like Ginkgo Enzyme Services, which was launched in December 2022 – make Ginkgo’s capabilities and biological data assets more accessible to its customers.
Services Overview for Ginkgo R&D Partners
Ginkgo Enzyme Services: Discover, engineer, optimize, and scale up your enzyme. Whether you’re looking for a biocatalyst to replace a chemical synthesis step, looking to improve your enzyme’s function, or aiming to lower your manufacturing costs, Ginkgo’s end-to-end capabilities empower your enzyme R&D.
Ginkgo Microbe Services: Leverage synthetic biology at scale. Whether you’re looking into biological solutions for challenges in agriculture, natural product discovery, microbiome therapeutics, or any other area in which strain optimization can present a bottleneck, Ginkgo can help.

Ginkgo RNA Therapeutics Services: The versatility of the RNA modality meets the power and flexibility of Ginkgo’s Foundry. Let the data guide you to the optimal RNA therapeutic for your application. With last year’s acquisition of Circularis, Ginkgo has expanded its platform to screen gene expression regulatory elements in both mRNA and circRNA formats. Partner with Ginkgo to discover sequence elements for improved stability, reduced immunogenicity, improved expression level and cell-type specificity and take advantage of Ginkgo’s end-to-end capabilities to produce your RNA product with high purity.
