Green Lab Futures

A bio economy series!

$30 Billion. That’s the number on the table. 💰🇦🇺

According to CSIRO and Main Sequence Ventures, Australia has the potential to build a synthetic biology industry worth $30B/year and create 50,000+ jobs by 2040.

We have the world-class research to do it. 🔬 We have the pilots. ✈️
But to unlock that $30B, we need to solve one thing: Scale.
We are currently under-building the "middle layer"- the demo plants and pre-commercial facilities that turn a lab breakthrough into a regional industry.
If we don't build it here, the IP goes offshore, and we end up buying back our own inventions.

👇 We want to know your take: If the government backed ONE lever to fix this, what should it be?
1️⃣ Infrastructure (Shared scale-up facilities)
2️⃣ Procurement (Guaranteed government buying)
3️⃣ Capital (Patient investment)
4️⃣ Skills (Workforce training)
