SBA4.0 SynBio Africa Conference 2025,

About the event

Following the success of the SBA 3.0 conference in 2024, SynBio Africa is excited to announce the SBA 4.0 International Conference on Synthetic Biology, AI and Biosecurity in Africa, to be held from July 23^rd - 25^th , 2025 in Kigali, Rwanda. This landmark event will bring together over 300 participants, including industry leaders, academia, policymakers, community representatives, and other stakeholders in the fields of synthetic biology, biomathematics, biomanufacturing, AI and biosecurity among others. The goal of this 3-day conference is to reflect on the progress made since the previous gathering and to chart a collaborative path forward for the development and application of these fields across the African continent.

Synthetic biology involves the design, construction, and re-engineering of biological parts, devices, and systems for innovative purposes. Since the inaugural International Conference on Synthetic Biology, AI and Biosecurity in Africa held in October 2021, significant advancements have occurred within SynBio Africa and across the continent. These include new training and certification programs, vaccine production partnerships, policy developments supporting synthetic biology’s role in the bioeconomy, the growth of SynBio companies, establishment of continental professional society for Synthetic Biology and professional women in Synthetic Biology group, and the establishment of regional networks for pandemic preparedness. The SBA 4.0 conference will highlight these initiatives, emphasizing the importance of continued cross-sector collaboration to foster the role of synthetic biology in sustainable development on national, regional, and continental levels.

The SBA 4.0 Conference Theme is “From Lab to Market; Leveraging on Safe Innovations in Synthetic Biology and AI for Africa ‘s Bioeconomy”
