Meeting 5

Definition of the service: Consultancy to optimize industrial processes using Synthetic Biology as a tool, mainly by exploiting sub products and offering a channel so that our suppliers are able to reach the clients.

Porter’s Forces: 1. Clients: Any company dedicated to industrial activities and manufacturers that generate sub products that are not being used and may represent a potential asset, also any industry that needs to optimize and improve the basic techniques used for their operations or solve problems associated with these operations. 2. Suppliers: http://syntheticbiology.org/Industry.html (DNA2.0 buy the gene. Universities and research centers that have developed any biobricks we could need for our clients. We could make the design and build it somewhere specialized for example companies that synthesize DNA.) 3. Potential Threats: We don’t know an enterprise planning to come to our region and offer this type of services but we do know some companies that are in the synbio industry (Point 2). **we should make a list of companies that could be interested in this type of services** 4. Substitute Services: the company could choose to hire their our personnel to manage the area (In a longterm it will be more expensive)
