Our 2021 BIO Health Caucus - centering on "SHOWCASE OF STATE BIO ECONOMIES: How States, Industry, Universities, and Research Parks Are Working To Build Communities of Bio Innovation" - is a powerful means of connecting with university park and innovation district leaders as they plan and build new biotech research labs, incubators and accelerators.
Our 2021 BIO Health Caucus features a a set of dynamic state bioscience associations that will present to a national audience on the unique aspects of your state's bio ecosystem. Learn what other states are doing to stimulate wet lab construction, support financing of bio entrepreneurs and attract pharma manufacturing through tax credits, tax increment financing and other programs and policies.
The AURP Bio Health Caucus will take place prior to BIO Virtual International Conference and a perfect time to highlight the great biohealth and life science work going on in your state!
