Obama to unveil Bioeconomy Blueprint on Jan 28

In Washington, Capitol Hill observers are tipping the Digest that President Barack Obama will announce his Bioeconomy Blueprint on January 28th, with a significant mention of the initiative expected in tomorrow’s State of the Union address. However, in a recent poll from GEN revealed that 50 percent of respondents thought that suggestions made in support of the proposed blueprint would have “not much” impact in developing the life sciences industry. One half though the initiative would be “somewhat” or “a great deal” influential in developing industry.
