The Biden Administration has launched the National Bioeconomy Board to work with partners across the public and private sectors to advance national competitiveness through biotechnology and biomanufacturing.
The board, an element of President Biden’s Investing in America agenda, is part of broader efforts to realize the potential of biotechnology for the U.S. economy, create an industrial strategy that leverages critical technologies, and revitalize manufacturing.
The National Bioeconomy Board is co-chaired by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), the Department of Commerce (DOC), and the Department of Defense. The Board also includes representatives from nine additional federal departments and agencies: The State Department, National Science Foundation, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Health and Human Services, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Department of Justice, Department of Energy, Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Board members represent biotechnology and biomanufacturing stakeholders across the federal government. The Board’s actions will complement the ongoing implementation of the President’s Biden’s Bioeconomy executive order.
