Developing countries have many products with significant export potential that are derived from their biodiversity and traditional knowledge, and many countries are seeking ways to protect these natural assets. The preservation, management and sustainable use of genetic resources, as well as sharing the benefits that they offer, are of special interest to EmTec. With the rise of modern biotechnology, genetic resources have taken on increasing economic, scientific and commercial value for many developing countries. In addition, the traditional knowledge associated with these resources is attracting attention from a growing audience. At EmTec, we have the skills and expertise to assist our clients in assessing their genetic resources and in promoting bio-prospecting as a mechanism for technology transfer while at the same time protecting traditional knowledge and genetic resources.
