The Bay Area Biotechnology Consortium was formed with the goal of representing our region as the “Birthplace and Future of Biotechnology.“ At our first endeavor, we were especially pleased to have represented California's Biotech Industry at BIO-Europe 2005.

California understands that technology and innovation are the vital forces behind our economic engine and a brighter future for humanity. As the “birthplace of biotechnology,” California is home to the largest concentration of life science companies as well some of the most respected research institutions in the world.

Our biotechnology industry is nourished by more than $15 billion in private investment in research and development, a remarkable commitment to life sciences discovery strengthened by $9.3 billion in venture capital investment in 2004 alone.

California offers a huge skilled workforce, experienced industry leaders, and the highest concentration of scientists, engineers, and technicians in the United States. Our world class transportation infrastructure connects California to the global market.

From the gold rush to the silicon boom, California has always been a land of opportunity and innovation. Realize the possibilities; make California your entry point for the US market and work with us to bring the future of biotechnology to life.
