Switch is at @SynBioBeta this week, the pulse of synthetic biology. It’s more than science, it’s a movement. And to build it, we need to bring together everyone from artists to astronauts. "This present moment used to be the unimaginable future!" The bioeconomy is booming 🧬🦠🌱

💯 agree with @VP that investments today "have the potential to turn the challenges we face into great opportunities that will have generational and global impact." Leveraging #biotech for ag empowers #Africans, creates highly skilled #Jobs, and fosters agricultural independence.
Tune in as I convene African, American, and global business and philanthropic leaders in Zambia to discuss digital inclusion on the continent of Africa and public and private sector investments.

Proud to be part of the $7 billion @VP @KamalaHarris secured with our expanded commitment to build custom biofertilizers for #African soils with #African partners. Fertilizer is the foundation of modern ag. Producing it differently - with #biotech - is #affordable & #sustainable.
Addressing the climate crisis is a global challenge. I am proud to have secured $7 billion in private sector commitments that will support climate resilience, adaptation, and mitigation across the continent of Africa.

As @VP @KamalaHarris & @WhiteHouse note, smart #agriculture can help solve the #ClimateCrisis. We're partnering with #Africa to make #fertilizer #sustainable with #biotech: https://t.co/ZiiicRYIem. Fertilizer feeds billions. We can & must remove #FossilFuels from its production.
