BIO Travels to Brazil to Support the Ecosystem of Innovation

 
Government policies that support innovation are critical as the biotechnology industry seeks to develop innovative healthcare, agricultural, industrial and environmental biotechnology products and provide them to people all around the world. Innovation requires not only scientific research and commercial expertise, but also supportive and dynamic governments that help facilitate long-term growth of the industry.

Brazil has recognized the value of innovation in maintaining a robust, diversified economy that can compete in the 21st century, and declared biotechnology a national priority. Boosting biotech within Brazil has the potential to create high paying jobs and develop a healthier, more productive workforce.

This week BIO will be in Brazil for a roundtable meeting with representatives from Brazil’s National Committee on Biotechnology (or Comité Nacional de Biotecnologia (CNB)), representing close to a dozen relevant government agencies and ministries including the Ministry of Trade’s Innovation Secretariat, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Science, Technology & Innovation.
