This flyer is an overview of the Agile BioFoundry (ABF), which has a goal to enable 50% reduction in time from conception to the industrial scale up of bioprocesses. The ABF platform unites the unique abilities of DOE national laboratories with targeted outcomes such as an improvement in Design-Build-Test-Learn biological engineering cycle efficiency, new microbial host organisms, and market transformation through the transfer of intellectual property and manufacturing technologies to U.S. industry.

The Agile BioFoundry (ABF) is a consortium of seven U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories that operate as a distributed biofoundry in collaboration with industry and academia. Funded by DOE's Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), ABF's work supports BETO’s goals to develop synthetic aviation fuels and lower emissions in energy-intensive industries. ABF collaborates with industry and academia to accelerate innovation and adopt new biomanufacturing methods.
