Network of Young Synbio Investigators: Evolva
Excursion to synbio company Evolva
Swiss/Danish Evolva discovers and provides innovative, high value, sustainable ingredients - in particular for health, wellness and nutrition.
The company focuses on:
…the “hidden chemistry” of nature, and in particular of food, as a treasure trove for new products that improve health, wellness and nutrition.
…innovative biosynthetic technologies to unlock this wealth for the benefit of individuals across the globe. And do so in a sustainable manner.
…the ability to creatively combine many new things, and to evolve and adapt, is an important capability, not only of our science, but of us as an organisation.
Evolva follows a business to business model, providing ingredients (and technologies for making ingredients) to other companies, in particular in the food and beverage, consumer health and pharmaceutical sectors. They have a high emphasis on discovery and implementation of new ingredient production routes, as well as the discovery of novel functional ingredients.
Evolva has a proprietary, fermentation-based platform that allows radically different approaches to the production of ingredients for the food, beverage and consumer health sectors.

We are focusing on selected products where our approach allows the creation of breakthrough products that will open up new opportunities. Typically, commercial success for these products will be achieved through market expansion and is not dependent upon the conquest of incumbents. The right handside overview profiles our key products in nutrition and consumer health.

Background for The Network of Young Synbio Investigators (NYSI)
PhD students and other junior scientists within the Center for Synthetic Biology are the ones who will carry the knowledge, experience and potential of working in cross-disciplinary collaborations into the future. As such, they are the most important carriers of the cross-disciplinary culture emerging from the convergence of the disciplines represented in the Center.
For this reason, we founded NYSI with the purpose of giving the young scientists of the center an opportunity for gathering in informal surroundings to discuss their projects, socialize and strengthen their identities as participants in cross-disciplinary projects. We also wanted to give the NYSI members access to people who are stakeholders in the world of research, thus strengthening young investigators’ personal networks.
