Company Description

At Solugen, we believe planet-scale change starts with the chemistry we use every day. We’re revolutionizing how things are made with the world’s first carbon negative molecule factory: the Bioforge. Harnessing the power of evolved enzymes, plant-based feedstocks, and clean, catalytic reactions, we are making the materials we need to sustain life on Earth—faster, cheaper, and without emissions or waste.
