GOVERNOR PATRICK WELCOMES
BIO INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION
|
 |
| BOSTON – Monday, June 18, 2012
– Governor Deval Patrick today kicks-off the
2012 BIO International Convention and welcomes
more than 15,000 participants and 3,000 companies
to Massachusetts, home of the nation’s largest
life sciences super cluster.
“Hosting all this talent from all around the
world is a great opportunity for us to showcase
our supercluster here, build on relationships we
already have and create some new ones,” said
Governor Patrick. “I look forward to meeting
with top executives and government leaders to
explore opportunities for collaboration and I
encourage all BIO participants to do the same.”
As a follow-up to the Governor’s 2011
innovation economy missions to the UK, Israel and
Chile, today the Governor hosts separate meetings
with United Kingdom Minister of Universities and
Science David Willetts, Israeli Chief Scientist
Avi Hasson, and Chilean Ambassador to the United
States Felipe Bulnes. Later in the day, the
Governor will participate in a MassBIO Patient
event at the Massachusetts Pavilion.
The Governor has a full schedule of events for
BIO this week as he meets with top executives and
government leaders and makes several announcements
related to the life sciences in Massachusetts.
The BIO International Convention provides
Governor Patrick, Lieutenant Governor Timothy
Murray, state and industry leaders with an
opportunity to showcase Massachusetts as a global
leader in the life sciences industry, and the
preeminent place for life sciences companies to
invest in and expand.
The ten-year, $1 billion life sciences
investment package Governor Patrick signed in 2008
has strengthened the state’s global leadership
in the life sciences. The initiative melds all of
the state’s key resources in order to spur
research, investment, innovation and
commercialization. Now the life sciences industry
in Massachusetts is thriving, with more than 52
percent job growth in the biopharma sector since
2001 and more than 80,000 employees working in the
life sciences.
