India’s Growing Role in the Global Bioeconomy

<div class="ag87-crtemvc-hsbk"><div class="css-vsf5of"><p class="carina-rte-public-DraftStyleDefault-block"><span style="color: rgb(29,28,29);">India’s economy is accelerating and with it, the country’s demand for energy, food production, and consumer goods. But India is also one of the most heavily polluted countries in the world. Transport and goods manufacturing (often bought by the global north) drive air and water pollution while the pressures of climate change and changing weather patterns threaten farming conditions and food supplies. All these challenges present opportunities for synbio to reshape India’s economy. What is the current state of synbio in India? What challenges does synbio face in reaching scale and what kind of support does the industry have with Indian policymakers? Join this special session for an in-depth discussion on India’s emerging synbio opportunities.</span></p></div></div>
