Daniela Blanco is a Venezuelan-born chemical engineer and co-founder and CEO of Sunthetics. Sunthetics is a sustainable materials startup company seeking to move the chemical industry away from its reliance on fossil fuels, such as gas and oil. Sunthetics focuses on electrochemical processes and utilizes its own proprietary Artificial Intelligence software to increase the efficiency of reactions that are powered using electricity. These chemical reactions are driven by "complex pulses of electrical current" using renewable energy as opposed to the traditional method requiring heat, which is dependent on the use of fossil fuels. In 2020, Blanco was named a Top Innovator under 35 in Latin America by MIT Technology Review.

Blanco's work mainly focuses on developing eco-friendly alternatives to traditional chemical processes used in manufacturing with a particular emphasis on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
