Abstract
The United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity defines biotechnology as: ‘Any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or derivatives thereof, to make or modify products or processes for specific use.’ In other words biotechnology is ‘application of scientific and technical advances in life science to develop commercial products’ or briefly ‘the use of molecular biology for useful purposes’. This short overview is about different branches of biotechnology carried out in Slovakia and it shows that Slovakia has a good potential for further development of modern biotechnologies.
