Progress IP from Upstream to Downstream to capture most economic value
Biotechnology can be a very significant contributor to both local economic well being, and worldwide health improvements.
One of a nation’s key assets is the ability of its people to invent, develop and commercialise. Scientists who are awarded government grants also
have a responsibility to recognise the Value of IP to the economy and health and welfare of its people
