In March 2023, the Council for Science and Technology (CST) provided advice to the Prime Minister on how the government can capture economic and societal value from engineering biology. CST recommended action in the following areas:

• act now to build on and extend the UK’s existing strengths in foundational capabilities
• demonstrate leadership, define ambitions to signal direction and focus effort, and take strategic action
• lay the groundwork to support the scale up of engineering biology-based solutions and businesses
