Oregon Bio Members will present a breakout session discussion:
Biotechnology:an Innovation Engine for the New Economy
Having endured our most recent recession, the bioscience industry has been one of Oregon’s economic bright spots (growing 4.1% to $4.1B in 2009). In this session, Oregon’s fastest growing bioscience companies will explain how they intend to drive Oregon’s innovation economy. Along with Oregon’s growing Biopharmaceutical industry, Oregon has a strong base of medical device companies who have leveraged the advanced electronics, engineering, software and manufacturing expertise originally nurtured in the Silicon Forest. The panel will discuss why Oregon is becoming a hot new market for bioscience innovation and collaborative research.
Panel Participants:
- Moderator: Dennis McNannay, Executive Director, Oregon Bioscience Association
- Peter Murray, Welch Allyn, (Beaverton)
- Peter Juergen Lindner, Biotronik (Portland)
- Mark Ahn, Galena Biopharma (Lake Oswego)
