Titel des Vortrags:

Emerging technologies in the Bioeconomy

Abstract: Like many strategic foresight projects, the anticipation of a future Bioeconomy must be understood as an effort not only to anticipate the future but simultaneously to shape, control, and govern the future. This keynote offers a comparative analysis of expected innovation dynamics in different Bioeconomy strategies, developed by the OECD, the European Commission and the German government. Against the background of approaches such as responsible (research) and innovation, anticipatory governance and reflexive forms of technology assessment, the existing strategies will be analysed.
