Economic Collaborative of Northern Arizona (ECoNA) — See You (Virtually) at the Bioscience Roadmap Progress Report

Good afternoon,

We hope you’ll join us for the online update by the Flinn Foundation on our state’s Bioscience Roadmap, a progress report on one of Arizona’s most important – and growing – sectors.

The Flinn Foundation will host this free Zoom session from 12 – 1:30 pm on Wednesday, April 23, and you can register HERE.

Speakers at the event include Heather Carter, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Health Choice CEO and the chair of the Roadmap Steering Committee. She’ll share new data on Arizona’s bioscience and hospital jobs, wages, venture capital, university tech-transfer, and other measurements of how the biosciences impact our economy statewide.

We’ll also learn about the opportunities and challenges surrounding bioscience research, commercialization, and healthcare during these uncertain times from Tomás Diaz de la Rubia, Senior Vice President for Research and Innovation at the University of Arizona.

And SRI International will provide a sneak peak of the new Bioscience Roadmap set to launch in September.

We look forward to seeing you at this virtual event and hope you’ll join us in celebrating the continued growth and success of Arizona’s bioscience industry.

Sincerely,

Gail Jackson

President & CEO
