Science magazine Scientific American has announced that it is partnering with the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) to organise a panel to discuss the findings and key issues from the 2010 Scientific American Worldview Report. This panel discussion will take place during the 2010 BIO International Convention. The BIO International Convention, a gathering of the global biotechnology community, is scheduled for May 3-6, 2010, in Chicago.
Fareed Zakaria, author, journalist and host of CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS, will moderate a discussion among industry leaders on the state of biotech hubs and innovation around the globe. The session is scheduled for May 5, 2010, at McCormick Place in Chicago.
The panel will review the results and central themes of an annual study highlighting key international developments produced by Scientific American in cooperation with the BIO. The session will focus on comprehensive survey results from a newly published report entitled ‘Scientific American Worldview: A Global Biotechnology Perspective’. The report features the Worldview Scorecard, a country-by-country ‘innovation capacity’ ranking. It will be available at the BIO convention and will be viewable online at www.saworldview.com in mid May.
The Worldview report will illustrate what countries are doing right, and what countries still need to work on to improve their capacity for creating biotech innovation locally. In addition, the report will show how countries compare against one another in such categories as work force availability, education and intellectual property protection.
