South Carolina. A state rich in culture, history and, to our delight, science! According to SCBio.org, there are more than 572 biotech companies in the state, employing over 13,500 people, with the state’s life science sector as a whole comprising approximately 1,300 companies.
Our Road to BIO, we’re cautiously optimistic to say, has been relatively smooth, though it probably doesn’t hurt that we caught a weekend to gain some momentum. We hit a few bumps in the road during our early discovery phase through the Northeast Biotech Corridor, but got a service boost after making our way through Clinical Trails in Appalachia. We’re about to turn the corner toward the final phases of our journey, but still have a lot of road to cover before we claim victory.
We’re kicking off our tour of the Deep South in the port city of Charleston, consistently among the top in the country for the import and export of motor vehicles for transporting people. We are pleased to be contributing to that statistic today, as we power onward through our journey in the Lamborghini Aventador and stop to learn about our partners’ various journeys across the supply chain, toward #BIO2017. Grab a sweet tea and join us!
We'll check back in this afternoon from Georgia with more #RoadtoBIO updates on our journey toward #BIO2017.
