2006 Bio NC Hotbed Map
2006 Bio NC Hotbed Homepage
Sponsored by CED and Biogen Idec, Bio NC is a unique branding and awareness campaign highlighting the organizations that constitute the dynamic bio-pharmaceutical industry of North Carolina.
BioScience companies AbD Serotec, Biolex and Erimos Pharmaceuticals, service providers i3 Research, Charles River Labs and PPD are among the life science-related organizations featured in the campaign. The effort also features research institutes, non-profit organizations and universities within the area.
"We are thrilled that BioSpace is launching the latest edition of their Bio NC map at Biotech 2006," said CED President Monica Doss. "The North Carolina biotech industry continues to grow and is now ranked #3 in the nation, which is well reflected in the Bio NC campaign."
The campaign features the iconic Bio NC Map, created by BioSpace's professional artist, which displays the corporate logos and facilities of participating organizations. The map is further enhanced through the integration of many functional components, including a Bio NC Hotbed Homepage on BioSpace's industry leading Website, BioSpace.com. Copies of the Bio NC Map are available through BioSpace.
"BioSpace would like to thank CED for their help in making this year's campaign such a huge success," said Brian Vacanti, Vice President of Marketing for BioSpace. "North Carolina's support of Bio NC over the past 5 years has demonstrated the state's ability to work together as a true community."
