Back to Korea because the pattern doesn't stop. Japan brought 490 dealmakers on 34 booths — barely any floor presence, all meetings.

4 of the 15 biggest corporate delegations at the whole thing were Japanese companies.

Korea backed theirs with real money too ~$2.3M in spend, more than double China's.

[Aaron Blotnick @AaronBlotnick]

South Korea sent more dealmakers to #BIO2026 than China did.

534 vs 193. Not close.

Every single panel that week was about China.

Nobody was talking about Korea. Kind of wild once you actually look at the numbers.

Can AI spark a second industrial revolution in Europe?

@Siftedeu says it’s already generating new knowledge and insight — and features @Basecamp_Res as an example.

We’re using AI to read the language of DNA from 1M+ new species to power the next generation of cures.

[Dr. Laura Bertola @LauraDBertola]

Typically, the term “genetic resources” has been associated with physical specimens; however, policy discussions have examined how Digital Sequence Information (DSI) might be incorporated into access and benefit-sharing (ABS) mechanisms.

[IPES-Food @IPESfood]

🌱Who controls the future of seeds?

At #ITPGRFA talks in Lima, the inclusion of Digital Sequence Information (DSI) is a flashpoint.

🚨BigAg could patent farmers’ seeds as private data: no consent, no benefit sharing.

📢Bring DSI under the Treaty!

[Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea @undoalos]

The BBNJ Agreement sets out a legal framework for the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from activities with respect to marine genetic resources and digital sequence information on marine genetic resources of areas beyond national jurisdiction.

[Africa Research Base @AfResearchBase]

The extraction of Digital Sequence Information (DSI) is being addressed through new global legal frameworks.

WIPO Treaty was adopted on May 24, 2024. This treaty establishes a mandatory patent disclosure requirementforcing applicants to disclose the country of origin for genetic resources used in inventions.

In late 2024 (COP 16), a mechanism including the "Cali Fund" was operationalized to require commercial users of digital genetic data to contribute to a global fund for biodiversity conservation in provider nations

#BiodiversityDay is a good time to learn about the Cali Fund dedicated to the fair and equitable sharing of benefits from the use of Digital Sequence Information on Genetic Resources (DSI).

The Cali Fund will mobilize new streams of funding for biodiversity action worldwide.

Mecanismo multilateral para el intercambio de beneficios DSI: 1% de las ganancias o un 0.1% de los ingresos, si una empresa tiene US$20 millones en activos, US$50 millones en ventas o US$5 millones en ganancias.

After over 20 years of work, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), which is the UN’s innovation and patenting agency, has succeeded in galvanizing support for heightened disclosure measures.
