(BIO) continues its work to improve policy that impacts the biotechnology industry and to foster an ecosystem where biotech innovation can heal, fuel, and feed our world.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">BIO’s efforts are guided by BIO’s Seven Core Strategic Priorities. Below we describe those strategies and look at how they shape our actions.</span></p> <h2>1.

BIO’s role is to protect, advance, and enlarge this ecosystem.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“This is an entire virtuous circle of innovation,” according to BIO President & CEO John F. Crowley. “Oftentimes that begins with a patient or a family in need with the four words ‘we have a problem.’ And oftentimes it’s one of our great academic research centers and a researcher, an individual, a team, that answers with four words: ‘we have an idea.’ The role of BIO is going to be to make sure that that entire innovation ecosystem, that virtuous circle, is protected and advanced.”</span></p> <p><b>What BIO’s doing:</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> BIO’s work in this area includes opposing the disincentives for innovation in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) price controls.
