The biosciences are a growing and vibrant sector of the U.S. economy, with more than 40,000 businesses employing 1.2 million people in all 50 states. States and regions across the country are working to develop and promote the growth of their bioscience bases. Additionally, each bioscience job in the U.S. generates 5.7 additional jobs in affiliated industries.
BIO 2006, held in Chicago last month, was a spectacular success. A record-breaking number of business leaders met, negotiated and exchanged ideas in the business forum. With a dominant presence at the conference, Pennsylvania Bio, led by Mickey Flynn (President) did an excellent job in promoting PA as the home to the continuum of the biosciences. Philadelphia is currently vying to be the host city for BIO 2011.
