              Synthetic biology is revolutionising the biotech industry and is increasingly applied in previously 
              unthought-of markets. Here, we discuss the importance of this industry to the bioeconomy and two of its 
              key factors: the synthetic biology approach to research and development (R&D), and the unique nature of 
              the carefully designed, stakeholder-inclusive, community-directed evolution of the field.
