Ena Cratzenburg from Ginkgo Bioworks, and John Cumbers founder of SynBioBeta join Mickey McManus to discuss the emerging regenerative bioeconomy, why every organization and region should have a bio strategy, what you can do to invest in the next generation of citizens, and share some amazing things happening already in the world of synthetic biology.
Mickey starts with an overview of the challenge we face in the next 30 years and what we mean when we say “bioeconomy” as well as how big an opportunity it is. Then Ena and John share not only their own journeys but also some mind expanding companies and surprises on the horizon.
The discussion happened during the APEC 2023 conference where GlobalSF, Fiona Ma and Evan Low hosted an all day event with high net worth individuals, sovereign wealth funds, foundations, local, national, and international leaders from governments and the private sector, and dignitaries from various Asia Pacific regions.
