Emerging Companies

We have used the biological processes of microorganisms for 6,000 years to make useful food products, such as bread and cheese, and to preserve dairy products.

Today, the biotechnology industry is enjoying more success and influence than ever before. Our industry’s innovations continue to improve the lives of people worldwide, and the advancement of these innovations is supported by the work of BIO.

States and regions throughout the United States are investing to create a business climate that supports the specific needs of the biosciences sector.

Dr. Moira Gunn and David Ewing Duncan report from the BIO International Convention.
