LIPI to Compile Biotechnology Indicators

September 21, 2007

A seminar on Science and Technology Indicators in Indonesia was held at the Indonesian Institute of Science (LIPI) at Widya Garaha, to develop a concept of indicators that hopes to enhance the development of the biotechnology sector. The indicators will be used to determine industry and market conditions as well as identify priority biotechnology programs that will help facilitate the decision process of policy makers.

Indonesians have realized the potential contributions of biotechnology in food, health and industry, and are looking forward to the development of a technology -intensive industry in many sectors.
