The OECD Global Forum on Technology (GFTech) is organising a series of Horizon Scanning Dialogues, each hosted online and focused on a specific emerging technology. Each dialogue aims to explore potential technology opportunities and risks to generate forward-looking insights on possible impacts for economies and societies, as well as related policy implications.
This webinar will explore some of the most exciting breakthroughs at the frontier of health biotechnology. Bringing together experts, government officials and policymakers, it will examine how biotechnology and responsible innovation can drive economic and social benefit while managing risks. The discussion will look to emerging possibilities in gene editing, regenerative medicine and synthetic biology, and consider what these developments could mean for medicine and society. It will then turn to the policy choices needed to support these developments.
