(April 25, 2008) “How to Benefit from the Growth of the BioTech and Life Sciences Sectors in the Charlotte Region”, will be the subject of a program at the Stanly Community College Crutchfield Campus in Locust on Tuesday, May 13, from 2-4 p.m. The program will include a brief presentation by the BioNetwork of the North Carolina Community College System, tours of the mobile laboratory, and the opportunity to talk with the experts. The program is a “drop-in” so that visitors may come at any time from 2-4 p.m. and participate in the entire program.
This program is being offered through the Charlotte Region BioBusiness Service Hub, a grant funded consortium of eight Small Business Centers comprised of representatives from Catawba Valley, Central Piedmont, Cleveland, Gaston, Mitchell, Rowan-Cabarrus, South Piedmont, and Stanly Community Colleges.
The Project Goals are to investigate the state of biotechnology in the region, to market and educate the resources available, and ultimately to devise a plan for staffing and supporting a centrally located Small Business Center (SBC) hub, specializing in biotechnology and life science businesses.
