Informed by roundtable discussions held at the Synthetic & Engineering Biology British-Swiss Summit, the Synthetic & Engineering Biology: A joint opportunity for the UK and Switzerland report, published in September 2024, delves into the most pressing challenges for advancing synthetic and engineering biology technologies addressing climate and environmental issues, and poses specific recommendations to governments, industry and the entire innovation ecosystem to act upon.
This webinar, which took place on 22 October 2024, saw Kerstin Kinkelin (Bristol BioDesign Institute), Maddie Cass (BIA), and Anike Te (Lucideon) discuss the report and its recommendations.
These findings are intended for a variety of stakeholders with the aim of moving forward joint Swiss and UK challenges in the field of synthetic and engineering biology, and – in light of the climate crisis – emphasising the urgent need to accelerate the commercialisation of these technologies.
The Summit was organised by the Bristol BioDesign Institute (University of Bristol), the Swiss Business Hub UK & Ireland, the BIA, and Lucideon.
