# Media Explore latest publications, videos and news ### Publications White papers, briefing paper and insight reports published by the BioBASED Initiative. ### Briefing paper 2025 Breakthrough technologies alone are no longer enough. To unlock the full potential of biology, we must shift from a technology-push to a market-pull mindset, aligning innovation with real-world demand and scalable deployment. This briefing paper introduces two distinct yet synergistic dimensions for understanding where and how biology creates value. By focusing on value and where biology is uniquely positioned to deliver it, as well as compelling narrative around value creation , we can achieve commercial viability and impact at scale.
