A Hub for Indiana’s Startup Ecosystem

The one-day event pairs high-energy pitches with keynote talks on emerging tech trends, positioning Indiana as a national hotspot for innovation. ventureclub.org
Spotlight on Digital Tech Innovation
The 2025 judging committee narrowed hundreds of applicants down to 12 digital tech finalists—companies leveraging software, AI, and data to solve real-world problems. BioReact secured its place on that elite list thanks to our AI-powered platform that transforms disconnected bioprocess data into actionable insights for industrial biotech and synthetic biology labs. ventureclub.org
BioReact’s Nomination: What Sets Us Apart
Bridging Fermentation & Data Science
While many biotech labs still juggle spreadsheets and siloed instruments, BioReact offers a unified, cloud-native workspace that ingests real-time bioreactor feeds, aligns offline assays, and applies machine-learning models to recommend optimal fermentation conditions. Our goal: cut redundant experiments, speed the Design-Build-Test-Learn cycle, and help more sustainable bioproducts reach the market faster.
Recognition Among the “Digital Dozen”
The Showcase jury highlighted BioReact’s potential to modernize a traditionally analog segment of biotech R&D. Being named alongside other high-growth Indiana startups validates our mission to make complex scientific data work harder—for scientists, investors, and ultimately the planet. ventureclub.org
