New innovation-oriented business models in the industry have risen. Until the early 1980s, there was no connection between traditional biotechnology techniques and genetic opportunities. The scientific basis of biotechnology has been developed in university and government laboratories; consequently, small science-based businesses were firstly located nearby significant universities and research institutes.
The project aims to investigate how the new routes of scientific and technological development in biotechnology are being developed worldwide. We expect the following outcomes:
1) Understanding conceptual aspects involving innovation and development of emerging biotechnologies
* Examining technological development trajectories in biotechnology by evaluating patents in national and international databases.
* Analyzing the state-of-the-art market based on financial indicators produced by companies.
2) Prospective studies and emerging technologies
* Mapping the nature and interaction of scientific, technological and innovative countries such as USA, Germany, Japan, and England, which have the most significant global dynamism in biotechnology.
* Conducting a prospective study to examine future scientific and technological developments in biotechnology by analyzing information and reviewing the national and international literature on the subject, as well as examining protected technological solutions in databases patents and scientific impact publications.
3) Technology and Market Scenarios in Biotechnology
* Conducting a prospective study to examine possible future scientific and technological developments in biotechnology by examining technology solutions in patent databases, scientific publications, technology licensing, and business market data analysis.
* Conducting an essay to measure the size and value of the biotechnology market, analyzing variables such as the potential of technology acquisition, market players and sales values of these technologies.
