Northern California has a unique, global atmosphere beginning with the cosmopolitan feel of San Francisco and extending through the international talent gathered in the academic circles throughout the region.

With more consular offices than any other American city outside of Washington, DC and representation by more life sciences multinationals and investors than any other US location, international opportunity is in front of the BayBio community every day.

The International Committee of BayBio serves to assist cross-border business development opportunities, provide member briefings on global life sciences communities and lead and participate in in-bound and out-bound delegations.

The inaugural meeting of the International Committee will take place on February 28th at 5:00 PM. It will be held in the offices of Fenwick & West, 555 California Street 12th floor. Any and all who wish to participate are welcomed to attend, but space is limited, so please RSVP to jgodsey@baybio.org.

Activities in 2007 will include:

• March 11-14: Participation in BioVision in Lyon, France
• April: The Israeli Life Sciences road show.
