Abstract
The globalization of the biotechnology industry puts nations at risk. Biotechnology has given science an ability to modify and engineer genes, creating both opportunity and risk across nations. As the biotechnology industry continues to march forward, grow, and expand in a Global Age, it is important for NGIOA to understand and evaluate its risk variables, the future direction of the industry, its impact on the economy, as well as its impact on the human race in coming years. This chapter briefly addresses the global biotechnology industry and its associated risks.
