IBISBA Strengthens Ties with US and Korean Partners at GBA's Annual Meeting
In October 2024, IBISBA further expanded its global influence through enhanced collaboration with leading US-based institutions, Agile BioFoundry and BioMADE, as part of the Global Biofoundry Alliance (GBA).
The event highlights the vital role of international cooperation in advancing industrial biotechnology and synthetic biology. The GBA, a global network fostering biofoundry innovations, is central to driving the development of sustainable bio-manufacturing solutions and accelerating breakthroughs in bioengineering.
During the GBA’s Annual Meeting in Daejeon, South Korea, leaders from various bioengineering institutions, including IBISBA, came together to share insights, align strategies, and explore synergies in biofoundry capabilities. Discussions at this meeting focused on overcoming shared challenges, including technical screening and biosecurity, and were complemented by a tour of K-Biofoundry (KRIBB), where advanced technologies were showcased. This meeting exemplifies the importance of global partnerships in addressing the growing demand for sustainable industrial processes. As IBISBA continues to strengthen its international ties, these collaborations are crucial to ensuring a robust and sustainable bioeconomy that can meet the challenges of the future.
This international collaboration highlights the power of aligning scientific research and innovation across borders, creating a dynamic platform for the exchange of knowledge and resources that are essential for tackling global environmental and industrial challenges.
