On-the-ground in Decatur! Last week, the Synonym engineering team was onsite in Decatur, IL, tackling the next steps in engineering design and exploring critical considerations to ensure a successful expansion, retrofit, and recommissioning of the existing facility for our iPROOF project. iPROOF is a state-of-the-art 32,000L+ fermentation scale-up facility in Illinois (USA) coming in early 2026 and will offer comprehensive wrap-around services for companies using precision fermentation to prove out concepts through to commercial scale. This project is part of the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA)’s recent $51 million grant to the iFAB Tech Hub, which supports advancements in precision fermentation and biomanufacturing. Stay tuned for more updates on iPROOF and we look are looking forward to making the U.S. Midwest a leading hub for biomanufacturing.
