BIO Picks S.D. To Host 2016 World Congress

The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) announced that its 2016 World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology will be held April 17-20, 2016, at the San Diego Convention Center.

“More than 400 biotechnology companies call San Diego ‘home,’ which makes it an exciting venue to host the world’s largest conference dedicated to promoting next-generation bio-based products, renewable chemicals and biofuels,” said Brent Erickson, BIO industrial and environmental executive vice president in a statement.

The 2015 World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology, held in Montréal, drew 1,200 industry leaders from 725 companies, 50 countries and 37 states, as well as the District of Columbia.

Joe Panetta, president and CEO of the San Diego-based life sciences group BIOCOM, said hosting the World Congress “provides us an opportunity to showcase the biotech industry to the San Diego community and raise awareness of an industry that is one of our region’s greatest assets and a strong economic driver.”
