Biology, Regulation, and the pace of progress | Biosolutions

If biosolutions are ready, why are legacy regulatory systems still slowing their path into the real world?In this second part of a three-part series, we examine the role regulation plays in the pace of biosolutions adoption. It explores how governance, risk perception, and regulatory systems influence innovation, while recognizing that the primary purpose of these systems — safeguarding people and the environment — must never be compromised. At the same time, it considers why identifying smarter ways to support innovation within these protective frameworks is becoming increasingly important.Biosolutions hold immense potential. They are already deployed across multiple industries producing a wide range of everyday products. The scientific and policy literature on their promise is extensive, and rapid advances in biotechnology continue to expand that potential. Yet their widespread adoption continues to lag behind.For the full experience, read the article while listening: https://www.novonesis.com/en/news/the-biosolutions-bulletin-16-biology-regulation-and-pace-progressThis audio article is part of The Biosolutions Bulletin.
