In recent years, people from the World Economic Forum have been talking, writing and dealing with a new field that in their view is critical to the future of the world: Bio-Convergence. Throughout history, scientific disciplines like biology, physics or engineering operated separately; there was almost no connection between them. But progress in the world of science has made it, science itself, complex and interdisciplinary, which means that future breakthroughs, those that will deal with challenges of medicine, food, energy, agriculture or climate, will occur when different teams, from different disciplines, collaborate with each other and then build interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary solutions and technologies. The new field has been named Bio-Convergence and it combines a variety of methods, ideas and technologies whose basis is biological, while alongside it and in collaboration with it, technologies from other fields such as physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and engineering are integrated. In a special episode, presented in collaboration with the Innovation Authority, we will try to understand the new field and the potential inherent in it, and although some of the things I tell during it sound fictional, I promise you they are not, they really are not.
