Business Executives for National Security (BENS) is pleased to invite you to an exclusive virtual briefing by the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB). This event is designed to offer insight into the Commission’s vital work in biotechnology and its impact on U.S. national security, while also laying the groundwork for how BENS members will contribute to this critical topic.
Event Overview
The NSCEB, established under the 2022 NDAA, focuses on strengthening U.S. leadership in biotechnology by addressing key policy, infrastructure, and workforce development challenges, while encouraging public-private investment and international collaboration—especially as China accelerates its advancements. With its final report set to be delivered in March 2025, the Commission seeks to share its findings, and the potential role biotechnology will play in enhancing national security and economic growth.
Why Attend?
This event will provide an in-depth review of the Commission’s work, its recent Interim Report, and the broader landscape of biotechnology as it intersects with national security. It will be a unique opportunity to stay informed about this emerging field and understand the key priorities and challenges the Commission is addressing.
NSCEB Seeks Input from Industry Leaders
As the Commission finalizes its report, it has expressed a strong interest in gathering input from industry leaders from our membership. They are seeking insights on key topics such as biotechnology policy, infrastructure, workforce needs, and ways to foster public-private collaboration. Your feedback could directly shape the Commission’s recommendations and help ensure the U.S. remains a leader in biotechnology innovation and security.
