BioManufacturing -- Our Region's Future

One of the many false arguments I often hear around the region goes something like this: "Should we work harder to preserve our manufacturing base or put more of an emphasis on our bioscience industry?"

The answer is yes. We can do both. Indeed, the fastest growing manufacturer in Cuyahoga County, Ben Venue, manufactures drugs. And the region is full of manufacturing companies that make medical devices, equipment and products.

BioEnterprise and MAGNET are partnering to accelerate the development of the region's medical manufacturing assets. The two organizatoins are hosting a program on May 29 from 3:30 to 6 p.m. at the Hilton Garden Inn in Cleveland that will feature area manufacturing leaders who have sucessfully diversified their businesses to participate in the biomedical industry.
Crain's Cleveland Business publisher Brian Tucker will moderate a panel featuring:

• BioEnterprise President & CEO, Baiju Shah
• MAGNET Acting President Fatima Weathers
• Valtronic, TBD
• Superior Products Inc, Executive Vice President Gregory
• Gans Quality Rubber Systems, TBD

The discussion will provide manufacaturers ou the information you need to determine how to enter the fast-growing and profitable medical sector.

Cost is $25.
