For the United States and South Korea, aligning efforts in biotechnology and biomanufacturing within the strategic alliance will support shared goals for technological leadership, economic competitiveness, and supply chain resiliency. Although there are some constraints, there is also a multitude of opportunities for both countries to enhance cooperation in this critical technology sector to support mutual aims in supply chain security and strategic technology development amidst rising tensions between the United States and China. The US-ROK strategic alliance has made significant strides in biotechnology cooperation. With targeted actions to fortify supply chain security, streamline regulatory frameworks, and support mutual aims in multilateral forums, the alliance can strengthen the respective biotechnology sectors of each nation and enhance resilience against external pressures, particularly from China. Continued commitment to collaboration in biotechnology will bolster economic, strategic, and military advantages for both nations.
