We cannot abandon the policies that have made our bioeconomy the strongest and most dynamic in the world, and we must work to update our policies to meet the challenges posed by the next wave of biotechnological innovations.”

The comments go on to say:
“BIO and our member companies stand at the forefront of the U.S. bioeconomy and we are proud that we have helped to make the United States the global leader in biotechnology innovation. We urge the Administration to seize the opportunity to expand on this American leadership by taking action and supporting the pro-innovation policies outlined in this submission.”
