As a means of reducing carbon pollution in the atmosphere Cemvita Factory engineers microorganisms that mimics photosynthesis to convert CO2 into useful products (e.g. chemicals and polymers). This solution can prove useful for deep space exploration missions including that of Mars by converting the CO2 that astronauts exhale and the abundant CO2 in the Martian air into nutrients.

The Karimi siblings bring together different disciplines, from nature-inspired synthetic biology to energy sustainability. Tara has devoted her academic career to studying biological systems and applying the natural principles to create biologically-inspired technology. Moji is an engineer who helps ideate, develop, and commercialize ground-breaking technologies with a proven track record of taking ideas to market, both at big companies and startups.
Mimicking photosynthesis was what brought Tara and Moji together to start Cemvita Factory with a mission to create economical carbon-negative solutions for a sustainable future’ on earth and on Mars.
We are developing a platform technology which could have applications in many industries. But as a small startup with limited resources we have to decide what market to focus on. The wrong market entry choice could be deadly to a budding platform technology startup. The MBRIF team helped us build a robust strategy for this which led to the traction we have gotten in the past 6 months.
The coaches, subject matter experts, and mentors provided to us by MBRIF over the past few months have been instrumental for refining our go-tomarket strategy and understanding the local market in the UAE. The MBRIF team helped us translate our vision into a strategic go-to market plan that is already paying dividends. In only a few months, we were able to connect with the local industry for adoption of our technology.
