About Leaps Talks:

Leaps Talks bring together leading minds from distinct disciplines to discuss the ethics, opportunities, and challenges in biotech innovation and investment. Breakthroughs in biotech could change the world for better, yet raise important ethical questions that can’t be answered by scientists and investors alone. Leaps by Bayer believes it’s critical to engage society in this dialogue, and works with partners worldwide to stimulate these discussions.
