Allonnia
Allonnia is a Boston-based environmental biotechnology company that uses biology and engineered systems to solve stubborn contamination and resource-recovery problems. Spun out of Ginkgo Bioworks' Ferment Consortium in 2020, it removes PFAS from water at scale using SAFF foam-fractionation technology and is commercializing biological methods to recover critical minerals and rare earth elements from ore. The company has raised more than $100 million to bring 'bio-ingenuity' to water treatment and mining.

Founded in 2023 by MIT alumni Baptiste Bouvier and Hannah Collins, the company got its start helping electric-vehicle and automotive makers keep pace with the roughly 1,000 regulatory updates issued worldwide each day, and has since broadened to manufacturers of all kinds.
