2008 Annual Conference
Ohio's bioscience industry—from research to business—continues to thrive. Expanding square footage and adding jobs despite the nation's economic tightening. For this reason, Ohio is looking to bioscience to help lead our state's economic resurgence. The $1.57 billion bipartisan Jobs Stimulus Program will invest $100 million in the state's biomedical industry.

The 2008 BioOhio Annual Conference, held Oct. 20-21, focused on the Jobs Stimulus Program and how companies and institutions alike can promote biomedical job creation and company growth.
