An Unlikely Biotech Investor: The Government

Walking around the convention floor at BIO was a remarkable experience this week in Boston.  Not only were there an endless number of human health companies present, there were also animal health companies.  States like Georgia, New Jersey, Maryland, Hawaii were also present, and countries too, among them Estonia, Japan, Switzerland, and Canada was a major sponsor of this year’s conference.  The message at BIO was clear: The world needs biotech.
