What is the Mission of The Biotech Forum?

The Biotech Forum is a regional organization created to provide practical business information and networking opportunities among executives, entrepreneurs, scientists and investors focused on the biotech, medical device and healthcare industries along the “101 Corridor”. This area spans the Los Angeles, Ventura and Santa Barbara counties.

During the past several years, we have seen increasing interest from individuals seeking to start new biotech and related healthcare companies in this region. In order to successfully support the launch of such new ventures, it is imperative that these executives, entrepreneurs and investors have sufficient resources and relationships which they can draw upon.

The Biotech Forum aspires to be the leading organization along the 101 Corridor for bringing together the resources necessary to assist in the development and scalable growth of biotech and healthcare start-ups. Our goal is to create a powerful ecosystem where such companies can flourish.

We believe there is a unique opportunity for the 101 Corridor to experience the rapid development of a significant number of companies in the biotech, medical device and healthcare space.

With your help, The Biotech Forum will become the leading catalyst for fostering the growth of such new ventures for the benefit of all of our members as well as for the larger community.
