Today: Diese Start-ups versprechen gesündere und intelligentere Babys
Der Markt für polygenes Embryoscreening boomt in den USA. Damit können bereits Embryos auf Krankheiten getestet werden. Und: Ein US-Konzern streitet mit Grönland um Ölförderrechte.
In Greenland, the oil exploration company Greenland Energy is attempting to extract oil from the Jameson Land Basin. To achieve this, the company requires the approval of the Greenlandic government. In July, Greenland Energy had already sent up camp equipment to the Nerlerit Inaat harbor, despite lacking the necessary permission.
The Greenland government publicly warned the company and announced that drilling would not commence until the winter of 2027. Judith Henke, a trade expert from Handelsblatt, explains in the podcast why she believes this timeline for drilling is unlikely, and why one should not underestimate the actions of Greenland Energy. "It was simply a sign that they seem to want to ignore the borders and rules of other countries, especially when it comes to oil."
The podcast series delves into the start-ups promising healthier and smarter babies. Helena Smolak, a Handelsblatt pharmaceutical reporter, discusses the development of the market for polygenic embryo screening and the areas where these companies are facing criticism.
