Ingenza Celebrates Award Success

Bioengineering organisation Ingenza has celebrated after being named the Innovator of the Year at the 2017 Made in Scotland awards, held recently at the Glasgow Science Centre. Now in its second year, the awards highlight the achievements of Scottish companies in sectors such as life sciences, food and drink, engineering, manufacturing and recycling.

The award acknowledged the Edinburgh-based company for its proprietary combinatorial genetic platform, inABLE®, which helps to improve the speed and predictability of bioengineering processes. The technology has opened up new commercial opportunities for Ingenza, expanding its customer base to incorporate a wide range of sectors, including bio-based chemicals, agrochemicals and biopharma.

Ingenza was also a finalist in the Life Sciences Company of the Year category, a testament to its integrated approach, which combines molecular biology, fermentation and process chemistry capabilities to help realise new commercial opportunities in bio-based manufacturing.
