The Summit
The Race Against the Clock is an annual summit part of the Built With Biology Conference for students and young biofounders. The event will be held on Thursday, April 14th (2022) at the Marriott City Center in Oakland, CA (08:00 Pacific Time).
Racers will have access to the conference venue, dedicated space for networking, meals and appetizers, and seats for hearing high-level discussions by thought leaders.
The Movement
Beyond the annual summit, we are building community to make the Race Against the Clock a movement. Our goal is to organize and promote young bio-based leaders in support of a common goal: create a flourishing bioeconomy.
We believe that young people building with biology in the form of startups are the hope to reverse the adverse effects of the Anthropocene. Therefore, we encourage racers to build long-term relationships, practice our values and strive to become agents of change.
We have a Slack community channel to help racers to connect to the summit, and to integrate those racers who are not able to attend this edition, but still want to be part of the movement.
