On Wednesday, May 12, 2011, we had a chance to chat with Zane Safrit on Blog Talk Radio about what’s great about Arizona’s BioIndustry. You can listen in to the show here.
What’s great about Arizona’s Bioscience Industry?
In Arizona our bioscience industry spans the bioscience continuum from agro bio to drugs and pharmaceuticals into medical devices as well as world-class hospitals, universities, research institutions, test labs and medical laboratories. Companies come to Arizona or are born here. More importantly, they grow here!
Growth => Jobs
Growth brings jobs and Arizona’s bioindustry is leading the way even in a tough economy. In 2010, when Arizona’s workforce dropped over 12%, our Arizona bioindustry job base GREW by 7% (for the period from 2002-2009 Arizona’s bio industry jobs grew by over 32%) That’s progress in the RIGHT direction.
