This summit will cover the profound implications of biotech advancements on national security and governance. Biotechnology has rapidly evolved, presenting both promising opportunities and potential threats. For example, developments in genetic engineering enable the creation of novel pathogens that could be used in bioterrorism. The development of rapid diagnostic tools and vaccines against infectious diseases is essential for preempting potential pandemics.

Furthermore, biotech innovations enhance agricultural safety by improving crop resilience against pests, diseases, and environmental stressors, ensuring food security. 

This summit will facilitate dialogue between biotech experts and government officials to address emerging challenges and ensure that regulatory frameworks keep pace with technological advancements.
