Tackling Texas Talent: Ensuring Biomanufacturers Don’t Look Elsewhere
Texas' reputation for a business-friendly climate, available real estate, and top-notch life sciences research makes it a frequent site selection prospect for biopharmaceutical manufacturing. However, building a solid biopharma reputation and closing more of these deals will require better alignment, engagement, and discussion among legislators, regional economic development organizations, investors, and the numerous life science-focused industry associations in the state. This session will bring together economic development stakeholders, workforce development experts, and biopharma companies with a presence in Texas to discuss what’s working, what’s not, and opportunities we should collectively explore to raise Texas' reputation as a leading state for biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
