Syncfab is an industrial marketplace that aims to connect manufacturers with suppliers and customers in a fast, secure, transparent, and cost-effective ecosystem using blockchain technology. It provides users with trustless verifiability of contracts and agreements and impenetrable security of data and transactions. By providing on-demand purchasing and tracking with high quality manufacturing quotes from vetted suppliers, SyncFab promises to deliver highly streamlined supply chain operations that lower marketing, administrative, and manufacturing overheads.

Jeremy Goodwin, the CEO of SyncFab, is a social impact entrepreneur who is passionate about technologies that improve the human condition. SyncFab itself is part of the White House’s Clean Energy Smart Manufacturing Innovation Initiative (CESMII). SyncFab created the industry’s first online design-to-manufacture interactive supply chain ecosystem that partnered academics, entrepreneurs, designers, engineers, and materials suppliers with industry, and the company then moved on to creating advanced supply chain and machine learning data platforms that match buyers with regional manufacturing facilities.
