President Joe Biden is poised to sign an executive order on Monday to help expand US biomanufacturing and reduce reliance on China.
The order lays out a strategy to bolster domestic manufacturing that harnesses biological systems to create a sweeping array of products and materials, from new medicines and human tissues to biofuels and food, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be identified as details of the executive order aren’t yet public.
The order will outline how the US should develop a trained, diverse workforce capable of using naturally occurring processes to create bio-based products and materials, the people said. The Biden administration plans to deploy resources to support scaling out biomanufacturing infrastructure, though it’s not yet clear how much funding there is to back the executive order.
Engineering biology could be used in manufacturing to account for more than one-third of global output, said the senior administration officials.
