Keynote address: Impact requires scale...a view from the US
The global bioeconomy has enormous economic and decarbonisation potential. To realise this potential, the industry must overcome historical challenges that have resulted in long and costly timelines from discovery to commercial processes. We need a new paradigm in precision fermentation to help decarbonise the production of everyday chemicals.
