Modern Synthesis
Modern Synthesis is a London-based biotechnology company developing a new class of bio-based materials by combining bacterial nanocellulose with conventional textile processes. Its patent-pending microbial weaving platform engineers bacteria to convert agricultural sugars into nanocellulose, which is grown around a yarn scaffold to create composite materials that can replace petrochemical- and animal-derived textiles such as leather. The company has worked with brands including GANNI on commercial applications and positions its technology as a drop-in-compatible alternative for fashion, footwear, and automotive supply chains.
