Regional Commitment to Bioscience
|
|
The emerging bioscience industry supports research collaborations, partnership identification, international outreach programs and technical assistance. Strong support from groups such as the Bioscience Leadership Council of Southern Arizona (BLCSA) and the Arizona Bioindustry Association (AZBio), help drive the bioscience economy, mobilizing leadership committed to collaboration, results and economic growth.
AZBio is the state affiliate in Arizona of the Biotechnology Industry Organization, the preeminent national association for
biotechnology companies, and of AdvaMed, the largest association representing manufacturers of medical devices, diagnostic products and medical information systems. AZBio advances the growth of bioscience companies through advocacy, connections, purchasing power and workforce development.
The region is on the forefront of bioscience, clearly defined in the Southern Arizona Bioscience Roadmap. Developed by the Flinn Foundation and Battelle, the roadmap is a 10-year vision for the future. The plan includes current strengths and strategies – such as mobilizing public and private leadership, investing in higher education, attracting a greater share of funding and developing scientific and technical talent.
