American Alliance for Biomanufacturing launched to boost bio-based product demand

In Washington, Tuesday marked the official launch of the American Alliance for Biomanufacturing (AAB), a new coalition of industry leaders committed to advancing U.S. leadership in biomanufacturing innovation, competitiveness, and resilience. The Alliance brings together essential stakeholders from across the industrial biomanufacturing ecosystem to address critical challenges and opportunities in a rapidly evolving sector that is increasingly vital to American economic and national security, and public health.

The formation of AAB comes at a pivotal moment, with the National Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology (NSCEB) calling for a coordinated, whole-of-government strategy to ensure U.S. global leadership in industrial biomanufacturing.

The Alliance will focus on two key objectives: (1) supercharging U.S. demand for bio-based products and technologies; and (2) ensuring market readiness for existing and novel bioproducts. It will also seek to strengthen domestic supply chains for biological materials, equipment, and technologies to enhance U.S. global competitiveness.
