Ginkgo.Your Innovation Partner.
We're excited to announced Ginkgo's 2025 Ferment Series, an evolution of our flagship annual conference dedicated to advancing our mission of making biology easier to engineer. Throughout 2025, our product teams will hold a series of focused Ferments at our beautiful event venue, located at 19 Fid Kennedy Ave in Boston’s historic Seaport District, just a five-minute walk from Ginkgo’s headquarters.
Each Ferment in the 2025 series will dive deep into specific focus areas—spanning our cell engineering and biosecurity offerings—and highlight how our broad horizontal platform for engineering biology is enabling transformative solutions across markets including pharma & biotech, agriculture, industrial biotech, government, and beyond. Speakers and panelists will include Ginkgo experts, partners, and industry leaders who are applying engineered biology to discover, optimize, and manufacture cutting-edge products.
Attendees will also get a close look at Ginkgo’s technologies and the innovations we've delivered to partners around the world. In addition, we'll showcase entirely new products and next-generation services, including Ginkgo Datapoints’ high-throughput AI-driven data generation services; Ginkgo Automation’s Reconfigurable Automation Cart (RAC) systems; and Ginkgo Biosecurity’s product suite anchored by Canopy (persistent, environmental pathogen monitoring) and Horizon (data-driven global threat intelligence).
“We made big changes in 2024, and our mission is stronger than ever,” said Jason Kelly, co-founder and CEO of Ginkgo Bioworks. “Whether you’re seeking the perfect antibody, looking to spin up a data generation engine to train your biological AI model, outfitting your lab with extensible and flexible automation, or building a new biosecurity solution to meet your mission’s demands, you can find your needle in our tech stack. We’re excited to show how the platform is evolving, and our new automation capabilities, expanded AI offerings, and next-gen data services will all be on full display at our 2025 Ferment event series. Join us as we celebrate the transformative power of biology and the foundational advancements being made by pioneers across our industry.”
A larger, platform-wide Ferment will return in 2026, alternating years with targeted business-specific gatherings.
