It requires innovating new materials; identifying market needs; collaborating with global brands to create premium products that capture consumers’ attention; and special expertise necessary to deliver and scale them. I’m grateful for the opportunity to speak at Biofabricate, which provides a much-needed platform for companies like AMSilk to share insights and collaborate with our colleagues in this fast-growing field.”
