RTIC0085 Engineering Biology Application 866 companies
Companies involved in the Applications side of Engineering biology sector. This RTIC has been developed through a collaboration between DSIT internal subject matter experts and analysts, soliciting feedback with the cross-Whitehall Engineering Biology network and The Data City over summer 2023. They have been integral in the taxonomy development as well as quality assurance. To understand the taxonomy or the caveats associated with the RTIC do get in touch with the DSIT engbio team or with Data city. The current RTIC will have future updates, if and when there are new sources that are brought to the attention of the DSIT EngBio team. Or, DSIT deem the list to need a substantive update due to time elapsed or if there are new subsectors to include.
