Scientific advances will only succeed if people are willing to embrace them.
Leaps by Bayer (the company's impact investment arm) and BCG, together with
Ipsos (a leading market research agency), recently conducted one of the
largest surveys to date on global public sentiment towards four
transformative technologies of our time: artificial intelligence (AI) in
healthcare, cell and gene therapies, new genomic techniques in agriculture,
and cultivated meat. This study collected insights from over 13,000
participants aiming to build a comprehensive view of public understanding,
fears, hopes, and priorities surrounding these innovations.



The technologies were chosen based on their significant potential to impact
their respective industries, their relevance, and their projected timeline
for market entry. While these technologies will affect everyone in some way,
people in different countries could have limited understanding of them -
potentially limiting their adoption and impact.
