“The document sets long-term goals for the development of biotechnology and the search for its military applications. The stated goal, quote, is “…to ensure technological sovereignty in the field of bioproduction and to outpace strategic rivals,” he said at a briefing, quoting the new US bioproduction strategy approved March 23, 2023.
