Brief Description:

The bioeconomy promises transformative benefits across health, agriculture, energy, and advanced manufacturing. Yet security discussions around biotechnology have often lagged behind, remaining narrowly focused on infectious disease or worst-case biological scenarios. As biotechnology increasingly converges with cyber systems, artificial intelligence, telecommunications, and other digital infrastructures, new categories of risk are emerging. This discussion explores how leaders can rethink biological and cyber threats in a converged world – and what safeguarding innovation should look like in this evolving landscape.
