As the world pivots toward bio-based economies, understanding how different jurisdictions nurture or hinder innovation becomes vital for entrepreneurs and policymakers alike. This paper provides a comprehensive exploration of two distinct biotech environments: Ukraine and Texas. While both regions are experiencing a surge in digital health and biotechnological innovation, their respective paths to success are shaped by vastly different socio-economic realities – one driven by the necessity of resilience and the other by the momentum of scale.enSOCIAL SCIENCES::Business and economicsSOCIAL SCIENCES::Business and economics::Human geography, economic geographyTECHNOLOGYThesis
