​​ValleyDAO will be hosting an online forum to gather stakeholders that can support in the research and creation of the Synthetic Biology Landscape Report. We warmly invite all Biologists, Founders, Policymakers and Key Opinion Leaders from Latin America and worldwide to participate in a highly interactive schedule where we will draw out new perspectives and map a pathway for accelerating the development of Synthetic Biology innovation in the continent. The forum will be a mixture of formats, including keynotes and panel discussions from leaders in the space, however, the main focus will be on the interactive workshop sessions which we hope to leverage to begin mapping out the landscape.
