Biotech Blueprint – A decadal vision for Australian biotechnology

In a significantly changed world with new challenges and grand opportunities, there has never been a more important time to plan for the future. Developed by AusBiotech, the Biotechnology Blueprint charts a course that’ll allow the Australian life sciences sector to shift the horizon of possibility and reach its ambitions for the coming decade. The opportunity to create a more vibrant, mature, and transformative sector that can reap the social and economic benefits of an era full of astounding possibility – begins with this plan.

AusBiotech proudly invites you to the launch of the Biotechnology Blueprint for member and sector-wide input.
