Maryland Biotechnology Companies to Show Up in Force on the
Biotechnology Industry Organization Show Floor
Maryland's biotechnology community has united and will turn out en
masse at the Biotechnology Industry Organization's (BIO) 2005 Annual
International Convention in Philadelphia, June 19-22, 2005 at the
Pennsylvania Convention Center.
The Maryland Pavilion will have nearly 5,000 square feet of
exhibit space in Exhibit Hall C and feature 36 exhibitors at the
world's largest biotechnology event. More than 18,000 biotech
executives, investors, journalists, policy makers and scientists
from more than 60 countries are expected to attend the three-day
meeting.
The biotechnology community in Maryland, including the Tech
Council of Maryland, the Maryland Department of Business and
Economic Development, the Montgomery County Department of Economic
Development, and MDBio has helped elevate Maryland's vibrant family
of biotech companies by constructing one of the show's largest state
pavilions.
"The Maryland Pavilion will feature the broadest range of the
most progressive technologies anywhere on the Bio show floor," said
Edward M. Rudnic, Chairman, President and CEO of Advancis
Pharmaceuticals and Chair of the Tech Council of Maryland's
BioAlliance. "This pavilion has small, medium and large
biotechnology firms and will showcase why it is so important for
companies to move their operations or invest in Maryland
biotechnology," he said.
According to a recent study conducted by Pfizer, the
Biotechnology and Pharmaceutical industry created more than 33,000
new jobs in 2003 and contributed to an average salary range nearly
70 percent higher than the state average. The Pfizer survey also
demonstrated that the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries
contributed nearly $146 million in income, sales and property taxes
to Maryland in 2003.
The Maryland Pavilion is located in Hall C of the Philadelphia
Convention Center in booths 124 through 344. Smaller pavilions from
Malaysia, Florida, and Minnesota flank the Maryland Pavilion.
