About

Today, the Southeast
is recognized as one of the fastest growing life sciences regions in the
United
States and home to more than 1200 life sciences
companies. A public/private partnership formed in 1999, SEBIO is committed to
conducting activities that create regional leverage and facilitate the common
interests and goals of constituents in the life sciences industry. Don't miss
our Newsroom (above) to read the latest regional Biotech headlines!
The
Southeast has seen sustained growth of the industry over the past decade.
Venture investment in Southeast Biotech companies nearly tripled in this time
frame, from $138 million in 1999 to over $325 million in 2007
(PricewaterhouseCoopers/National Venture Capital Association MoneyTreetm Report
based on data from Thomson Reuters). The region has also consistently ranked at
least 3rd in the country for the number of public and private Biotech companies.
The maturity of our region is also evidenced by its more than 32 public
biotechnology companies, up from 22 in 1999 (Ernst & Young's Beyond Borders:
The Global Biotechnology Report 1999 and 2008).
