摘要：The relationships between biotechnology, society and economy in the European and Spanish contexts have been explored from an evolutionary and integrated perspective along three dimensions: scientific and technological policies, the social dimension, and in terms of their socio-economic impacts. It has been concluded that biotechnology in its various forms represents challenges and hopes. The challenges arise out of the complexity, conceptual richness and the need to combine qualities and resources underlying biotechnological approaches. These approaches create hopes because it is possible to develop knowledge and human resources based strategies for industrial development that may be an alternative to the current predominant addressing only financial objectives. All these dimensions have to be supported on a social space integrating scientific culture and the validation of scientific information and communication with the socio-economic impacts. Spain is in a good position from which to face the challenges and to advance with optimism thanks to a combination of factors: sensible scientific policies built around the objective of the modernisation of the country, an entrepreneurial pool of human resources, joined to the involvement of all stakeholders who have been acting with the public-private collaboration as an axis for entrepreneurship.
