## About

Gaia Bio developed revolutionary technology that enables working directly with bacteria sourced from the natural environment. This direct link with nature significantly shortens the development time from years to months, providing endless application possibilities. Using advanced synbio technology, we train bacteria to carry out specific bio-tasks, like decomposing plastic or producing biogas from waste.

## Why VentureIsrael invested

By sourcing and training bacteria directly from their natural environments, Gaia achieves a 90% reduction in time-to-market for mission-critical bio-tasks. We are backing a team that has already integrated into a national infrastructure with 3 industrial giants and 3 academic teams, positioning Gaia as the primary engine for high-margin, scalable bio-solutions in the SAF value chain.
