SURVEY OF INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL STANDARDS RELATED TO THE AMAZON BIOBUSINESS CENTER (CBA)

Abstract

The article aims to survey and map the international and national standards that impact or are related to the activities of the Amazon Biobusiness Center (CBA), dividing them into four thematic axes, for a more didactic presentation: Environmental, Business, Administrative and Tax/Financial/Economic. This is an exploratory, bibliographic, documental study with a qualitative approach. The methodology is structured in the collection, analysis and organization of standards related to the themes of biotechnology, biobusiness, bioeconomy, innovation, ST&I aimed at the CBA. It is concluded that the integration of international and national standards, although fraught with challenges, also offers significant opportunities for CBA. Compliance with international treaties and Brazilian standards can open doors to research partnerships, funding and access to global markets, in addition to strengthening CBA's position as a reference center in biotechnology and bioeconomy. However, the complexity of the regulations, the lack of harmonization between them, and the need for constant adaptation to changes in legislation can be significant obstacles to the efficient execution of CBA projects.
