Engineering Biology Innovation Network Launch Event
Join us online for the launch of the Innovate UK Engineering Biology Innovation Network. Our aim is to connect innovators and researchers in Engineering Biology to end-users and investors, developing supply-chains and creating a commercially focused community.
About the event
Engineering biology has the potential to drive innovation and revolutionise sectors such as medicine and health, agriculture and food, chemicals and materials. The UK Government sees this globally important technology as a key priority and has the ambition to position the UK as a global leader in this field.
The Innovation Network will bring together experts, businesses, researchers and innovators from diverse sectors and industries, all focussed on Engineering biology. It will facilitate knowledge sharing, collaboration and consortia building, accelerating the adoption and commercialisation of Engineering Biology in diverse sectors.
