BIO Blog: Wisconsin looks to draw attention of biotech leaders

The largest convergence of the world’s biotechnology business leaders, scientists and government leaders launched today in the cavernous halls of the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center. And Wisconsin’s biotech leaders say they’re hoping again this year to draw the world’s attention.

“It’s the biggest gathering of biotech executives in the world. Just being here is a statement that you’re a player in this industry,” said Bryan Renk, president of BioForward, an association that represents the state’s biotechnology and medical device companies.

And Wisconsin, he said, is a player.

The title of this year’s conference is “Healing, Fueling and Feeding the World” – and Wisconsin is heavily involved in all three areas of biotechnology research, development and commercialization, Renk said.
