The National Vision for Engineering Biology, published in December 2023, recognises the importance of access to infrastructure for enabling growth and unlocking innovation for engineering biology applications. UKRI invested £100 million in Engineering Biology Missions this year, including to six Engineering Biology Hubs.
DSIT is working with other departments and arm’s length bodies such as UKRI to explore a range of options to increase access to infrastructure for engineering biology.
