Presentation:
Considerations in commercializing precision fermentation products in food & agriculture

Key Points:
• The technological developments leading to the recent rise in precision fermentation.

• Focus on high value products or markets before pushing to commodity.
• Ensuring your product works well in food applications.
• The valley of death (scaling, manufacturing, regulatory affairs).
