The Society of Chemical Manufacturers and Affiliates (SOCMA) debuted SCD-iBIO, a new affiliate groupthat aims to advance the commercialization of industrial biotechnology, which is the application of biology for the production and processing of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, materials and energy.
The group is referred to by its acronym, which stands for the Society for the Commercial Development of Industry Biotechnology.
“With industrial biotechnology rapidly emerging as a key technology for economic growth on a global scale, SCD-iBIO will help member companies achieve their common objective of creating a sustainable chemical industry,” said SOCMA President and CEO Lawrence D. Sloan. “We welcome them into our family of affiliate groups and look forward to helping them achieve their goals.”
Sloan added that the formation of the group also supports SOCMA’s organizational goal to expand its representation across more sectors of the chemical space.
