January/February 2007

Trade & Industry Development Magazine

Driven by advances in technology and economic demand, focus on the world of “bio” has never been greater.  Emphasis has been placed in several “fields” of bio:  BioMed (enhancements to medicine); BioTech (new technologies from the life sciences); BioEnergy (alternative fuels solutions); & BioAg (improved crop development); to name a few.  Each one, on their own, offers possibilities for augmented lifestyles.  Combined, these fields present opportunities for a profoundly improved human existence.
 
It is no wonder then, that regions worldwide have created programs to enhance their role in the emerging bio experience.  In this issue, we explore those initiatives being offered, as well as the site selection parameters facing executives in these fields.
