Engineering biology is transforming the way we make things. In this episode our host, Steve Bagshaw, Chair, High Value Manufacturing Catapult, is joined by Clare Trippett, Principal Strategic Opportunities Manager at CPI, and Professor Aline Miller, Professor at University of Manchester, to map out why this moment matters, and what it will take for the UK to lead.

We unpack how biology is becoming programmable, enabling cleaner, faster and more sustainable products across health, materials, chemicals and food, and why coordinated national strategy and responsible practice are essential. The conversation explores the enormous economic potential of the bioeconomy, the urgent role engineering biology can play in addressing climate and health challenges, and the persistent hurdles that remain, including scale-up, regulation, investment, and public understanding.

Join this exciting discussion on the possibilities ahead and the steps we must take to get there.
