The National Threat Initiative (NTI) partnered with the Munich Security Conference in March 202 to conduct a tabletop exercise on reducing high-consequence biological threats, with a focus specifically on a monkeypox outbreak. The Munich Security Conference has received funding of $1.2 million from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The report was entitled: “Biosecurity Innovation and Risk Reduction: A Global Framework for Accessible, Safe and Secure DNA Synthesis.”

By the end of the exercise, the fictional pandemic resulted in more than three billion cases and 270 million fatalities worldwide”
