Survey of the Use of Biotechnology in U.S. Industry

摘要

In 2002, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), Office of Strategic Industries and Economic Security, and the Technology Administrations Office of Technology Policy (OTP) initiated the first in-depth government assessment of the development and adoption of biotechnology in industry. This assessment was intended to increase national policymakers understanding of the current development and use of biotechnology in U.S. industries, and to assist federal statistical agencies in developing measures and statistics of biotechnology-related economic activity.
