BioMADE Celebrates 2 Years!

This April marks two years since BioMADE’s launch in 2021. The successes our industry has seen over the last two years would not be possible without our incredible 200+ member organizations and our partners in the U.S. government. The past year has held many milestones for BioMADE, including 200 members in our ecosystem, a ceiling raise, 45 active projects from 58 members, kicking off our infrastructure plans, and more. We are thrilled to be supporting the development of biomanufacturing technologies alongside our member organizations, through innovation, education, and collaboration. Read on to check out more highlights from the past year.
