Are You Biotech?

Joanna Schroeder

The biotech industry would like you to become ‘biotech’. Biotechnology has been responsible for bringing many things to the world including vaccines, cures for cancers, and better ways to grow our food. It is also responsible for developing the natural enzymes that are being used to help spur the growth in the biofuels industry. Enzymes are better for the environment, more efficient and help to lower the costs of producing biofuels, this according to an Industrial Enzymes video segment I just watched that featured the biofuels work of Novozymes. Apparently, this is to be a topic of interest during the Copenhagen Climate Conference.

Today, the Biotechnology Industry Association is asking people to join their “I Am Biotech” movement.  If you join the online biotech community, you will be entered for a chance to win free roundtrip airfare and a complimentary registration to the 2010 BIO International Convention in Chicago.

The site offers insights on the direction of the industry from top CEO’s and thought leaders, networking opportunities, legislative updates, research updates and more. To learn more go to: www.IAmBiotech.org/join.
