The rate of change we are experiencing today is the slowest it will ever be again in your lifetime. Just as computers led to a fundamental change in the way we work, play and connect, the intersection of biology and technology is leading us into a new world of possibilities, a fourth industrial revolution. Throughout history, any time information technology is applied to a new area, growth takes off exponentially. Biology is now a way to make, build and do.

Our Growing Bioeconomy

What technologies do we pursue? Who should have a say? To participate in these discussions, we need a common vocabulary, clear communication and understanding of new technologies, the ability to evaluate information and draw conclusions, and opportunities for everyone to participate in discussion and debate.

Disrupt or be Disrupted! Our educational system offers unequal funding and opportunity and evolves too slowly. Today's students need a variety of problem solving skills and yet, we still educate in the same way that schools did in the 1950s while technology and the world have changed dramatically. How do we identify and encourage multiple paths that mirror the future economy and society?

From the air we breathe to the food and water we consume, our fragile ecosystem is supported by incredible biodiversity. Just as our natural ecosystem thrives on diversity, we do better when we work in diverse groups. How can we ensure that everyone has access to work with new technologies? How do we transform dying industries and towns and create opportunities for everyone?

What is FocusBio?

We are a new organization established to support the growing bioeconomy and help engage the public, students, parents, teachers, the media and anyone else interested in how the intersection of biology and technology are changing our lives and changing the world. We support the growth of emerging technologies through outreach, education and advocacy.

Our mission is to make biology and its applications accessible for everyone

We want to inspire and empower individuals to explore, do and share, to change the way we learn, to harness the power of biology and apply that knowledge to better serve our communities and the world. Our program include a focus on biology, emerging technologies and entrepreneurship and most importantly, the intersections of these disciplines.

Subscribe to our newsletter for overviews of the latest news in easy to understand, quick updates that focus on how the science will affect issues in your community, see reviews of resources, and download free materials.

Contact us if you would be interested in having a speaker for your group discuss key issues at the intersection of biology and technology.

We believe in working together to build opportunities for people from all walks of life to discuss and participate in shaping the future. The opportunities are endless!
