For commercialization and effective social mounting of genome-edited products, science-based and transparent regulation, IP environment which encourages more players to enter this field, and sound and unique ideas which link genomic information to diverse consumer value are indispensable. Last year, policies for handling genome edited organisms and food/feed products were finalized in Japan, and there is growing interest which genome-edited product would be first introduced to the market. However, still many people in industry concern about uncertainty which could be attributable to ambiguity and/or lack of information about regulation, IP environment and/or licensing policies, public acceptance, etc.
This online genome editing symposium will focus on such uncertainty and aim to share information required for social mounting of innovative ideas harnessing this groundbreaking technology.
