Biotechnology can help address major global challenges like hunger, disease, and environmental pollution through various applications. It contributes to sustainable food production by developing genetically modified crops with higher yields and nutritional value. It also produces renewable energy and materials from biomass to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Biotechnology enhances healthcare by enabling hundreds of new medical therapies and vaccines for diseases like cancer, HIV/AIDS, and Alzheimer's through approaches like gene therapy, regenerative medicine, and personalized medicine. It is a major industry employing over 1.2 million people in bioscience directly and millions more indirectly with average wages well above other sectors.

A questionnaire was sent to the 29 Member Countries of the OIE Regional Commission
for the Americas and information and comments were received from the Delegates of 21 Member
Countries. The questionnaire covered aspects relating to the application of biotechnology to
animal health, especially prevention-related issues, including: the development and production of
medicinal products and vaccines; the use of metabolic modifiers, probiotics and prebiotics;
advanced veterinary diagnostic methods; immunocastration and other applications. The
questionnaire also covered the aspects of regulations and public perceptions.
The report analyses the situation in the countries of the region in relation to the state of the art in
these technologies worldwide, revealing that modern biotechnology-based technologies offer huge
potential for the production of vaccines, medicinal products and other veterinary products.
The development and use of these technologies is concentrated in a few countries of the region,
while in others they are still not in widespread use. This creates the need to publicise and provide
training in these technologies, for which suitable development conditions exist in a number of
countries in the region. It is also necessary to foster the establishment of a comprehensive and
effective regulatory framework for the safe use of these technologies from the dual standpoint of
biosafety and of the regulations established in the veterinary register. All the countries of the
region consider that it is important for the OIE to issue additional standards for the production of
veterinary products using modern biotechnology.

Biotechnology and its applications
Introduction:
Biotechnology is the broad area of biology, involving living systems and organisms to develop or make products, or "any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use“.
Depending on the tools and applications, it often overlaps with the (related) fields of molecular biology, bio-engineering, biomedical engineering, biomanufacturing, molecular engineering, etc.
The wide concept of "biotech" or "biotechnology" encompasses a wide range of procedures for modifying living organisms according to human purposes, going back to domestication of animals, cultivation of the plants, and "improvements" to these through breeding programs that employ artificial selection and hybridization. Modern usage also includes genetic engineering as well as cell and tissue culture technologies.
Its Applications:
Biotechnology has applications in four major industrial areas,
Food Industry
Health and Medicine
Agriculture

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
