The book is based on Bio-MBA lectures, invited seminar series organized by Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and hands-on experience in developing biotech businesses from academic to industry.

Biopreneurs, from the title on is well-structured into four main sections. The reader is smoothly driven in a dynamic and convincing way to understand the interactions of the scientific aspects of biotechnology with legal, political, regulatory and even ethical approaches required to make biotechnology a commercial success.

Indeed, the opening chapters introduce readers to the real concept of applied biotechnology, defined not only as a product or service making one, but also as a mixture of technologies that altogether and in harmony allow the development of a long-lasting commercial biotechnology.

Particularly noticeable is the clarifying chapters on various issues and the differentiation between the intertwined concepts normally associated with the issue of intellectual property. Next, the author dives the reader into corporate biotechnology, highlighting the requirements to establish a biotechnology company.
