Georgia Bio Recognizes Two State Legislators with Annual Award
While the economic climate has been difficult for bioscience companies, it has also had a significant impact on state budgets, causing many states to cut programs and reassess economic priorities. That said, the bioscience industry has remained a valuable growth area, both in the United States and abroad. Therefore, it’s not surprising that local and state government leaders continue to support economic development initiatives that encourage the growth of this industry. This week, Georgia Bio Read More >
