About


This project aims to create a Latin American (LATAM) SynBio Network to connect the region's countries under related topics. We seek to create high value connections, develop a collaboration-friendly environment, and promote diverse opportunities among the LATAM community. Additionally, a roadmap based on the SynBio LATAM ecosystem status, on the topic of public policies and bioeconomics, will be created to identify limitations, areas of opportunity and aspects of improvement across the region.

Description


The project is expected to have three focus groups:

  • Design & Communication: communicating different opportunities in the region, and designing elements to build social media presence.
  • LATAM Roadmap Research: searching for and grouping relevant information about the SynBio ecosystem status in different countries.
  • Region Outreach: connecting with important stakeholders in the LATAM to establish novel connections and potential partnerships.
