It is considered that the bio-business is going to be the fastest growing sector of the world economy during this century. Some even designate the 21st century as the bio-century.
Bio-business comprises over 10 trillion dollars or 30 percent of the global economy. Countries throughout the world have identified new opportunities in the bio-business arena as the next hot-technology area and are investing in training their scientists, setting up state-of-the-art life science and technology-knowledge clusters, establishing viable biotechnology industries to fuel growth in bio-business areas.

BIOPRENEURS: MOLECULAR MILLIONAIRES
Biopreneurs from the title on, is well-structured four main sections, the reader is smoothly driven in a dynamic and convincing way to understand the interactions of the scientific aspects of biotechnology with legal, political, regulatory and even ethical approaches required to make biotechnology a commercial success.
Indeed, the opening chapters introduce readers to the real concept of applied biotechnology, defined not only as a product or service making one, but also as a mixture of technologies that altogether and in harmony allow the development of a long-lasting commercial biotechnology.
Particularly noticeable is the clarifying chapters on various issues and the differentiation between the interwined concepts normally associated with the issue of intellectual property. Next, the author dives the reader into corporate biotechnology, highlighting the requirements to establish a biotechnology company.
This is a pivotal issue for pure-science biotechnologists, regularly deprived of the required background to build-up from bench to market. The last section is a well-organized basic tour through relevant issues that get together science and technology as a functional unit. It clearly shows the reader that being successful in biotechnology is not an easy task, but not impossible either if the proper steps are followed. Notwithstanding, one of the key concepts resulting from reading the book is that of optimism.
Biotechnology has destroyed paradigms, created new ones and reborn others, always with a positive slope, selling the feeling that we are just at the beginning of a never-ending process. Dr. Ryan Baidya is an enthusiast. Through the different sections of his book he speeds up to convince the reader that getting into Biotechnology is a must. In summary, a robust, commercially-oriented readable book which should be read not only by specialists but also by entrepreneurs which foresee Biotechnology as the business of tomorrow.
