Alameda, California (June 10, 2026) – Pow.Bio, the company advancing AI-enabled continuous fermentation for industrial biomanufacturing, has been selected as a 2026 Technology Pioneer by the World Economic Forum.

The Technology Pioneers community brings together companies developing breakthrough technologies with the potential to transform industries and address global challenges. Members are selected for their innovation and potential impact and contribute their expertise to initiatives and discussions convened by the World Economic Forum. This year’s cohort includes 100 companies from 23 countries spanning artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing, energy, health, space, and the bioeconomy.

Pow.Bio was selected for its work advancing the next generation of industrial biomanufacturing. The company’s AI-enabled continuous fermentation platform combines operational intelligence and continuous operations to improve manufacturing performance, accelerate scale-up, and reduce production costs for bio-based products. By enabling more efficient and scalable production from renewable biological resources, Pow.Bio is helping expand the role of the bioeconomy in building a more resilient and sustainable industrial future.

“Biology has the potential to transform how the world produces food, materials, and chemicals, but realizing that potential requires manufacturing systems that are reliable, scalable, and economically competitive,” said Shannon Hall, CEO and co-founder of Pow.Bio. “We’re honored that the World Economic Forum has recognized the importance of this challenge and the role Pow.Bio is playing in helping solve it.”

As a 2026 Technology Pioneer, Pow.Bio will engage with leaders across business, government, and civil society to help advance the future of industrial biomanufacturing and the bioeconomy. The company will join fellow Technology Pioneers and global leaders at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, China, where discussions will focus on the technologies and innovations shaping the next generation of industry.
