Description
CPI requires access to a pool of specialist consultants, to complement its own internal knowledge and experience related to the strategic development of the UK’s Bioeconomy/Engineering Biology capabilities in support of the UK Government’s Modern Industrial Strategy and its Plan for Change missions. The Industrial Strategy highlights Engineering Biology (EB) as a Frontier Technology focus area for the UK. EB, and the Bioeconomy more broadly, directly supports five of the eight Industrial Strategy Priority sectors – Advanced Manufacturing, Clean Energy Industries, Defence, Life Sciences and Digital and Technologies.
