The National Academies will convene an ad hoc planning committee to organize and facilitate a virtual workshop exploring the research and development, innovation, investment, and policy landscapes for biotechnology and biomanufacturing in the United States and India, and highlighting joint and/or collaborative efforts in these areas. This workshop is associated with the overarching activity, Roundtable on International Bioeconomy Governance (DELS-BLS-23-06), approved by GBPAC on 06/07/2023. The committee will comprise established and early-career experts from the United States and India who work in fields and organizations relevant to the bio-based economy in both countries. The workshop will focus on various topics that promote and protect research, development, commercialization, and application of biotechnology and biomanufacturing for the bio-based economy. Topics may include: a) scientific and technological developments; b) research institutions, commercial and/or biomanufacturing industry, and users of bioeconomy knowledge and products; c) policies and practices for governing bioeconomy-related research and development in the US., India, and internationally; d) specific enablers of the bioeconomy ecosystems in both countries; and e) hurdles in the bioeconomy innovation ecosystem and any solutions to those hurdles. Key themes from the workshop will be summarized in a Proceedings-in-Brief according to National Academies' policies.
