Hundreds of business leaders gathered in Miami to discuss how to nurture the emerging biotech sector of Florida's economy.
Biotechnolgy research is on the rise in Florida, but the state needs to lure venture capital away from other well-known tech corridors, like Boston, Austin, Texas and the Silicon Valley in order to become an industry powerhouse.
The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and Gunster Attorneys at Law hosted a luncheon at Jungle Island in Miami Wednesday to spread that idea to more than 500 business leaders from around the state. Groups like the Burnham Institute for Medical Research in Orlando, Max Planck Florida Institute and Scripps Florida in Jupiter, and the University of Miami's Miller School of Medicine boasted about their accomplishments and growth forecasts and rallied the audience to collaborate to grow the sector.
