Researchers and lab suppliers are invited to participated in 3 important Minnesota life science technology events coming soon.

Did you know that the University of Wisconsin's Research Park facility is internationally recognized and has 37 buildings with more than 1.8 million square feet of lab and office space?  

A recent Pike study predicts rapid growth for the green chemistry industry. What was a $2.8 billion industry in 2011 is expected to become a $100 billion industry by 2020. The report looked into three major segments of the market: “waste minimization in conventional synthetic chemical processes, green replacements for conventional chemical products, and the use of renewable feedstocks to produce chemicals and materials with smaller environmental footprints than those produced by current processes.” 

Lab suppliers interested in marketing their life science solutions and increasing lab sales leads may want to take a closer look at the market available at the University of Arizona, a school that hosts annual life science marketing events organized by Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. The University of Arizona is the leading research university in the state of Arizona and is ranked in the top 20 public research universities in the country. The University of Arizona excels in research areas such as the environment and biosciences. The school’s innovative research is contributing to the next generation of knowledge.

A study published by the NSF ranked the University of California, San Diego in the top ten universities in the country receiving federal research funding, reports Lab Manager Magazine. The University of California, San Diego was ranked number eight out of 896 universities that received federal research funding in 2011. In 2012, the University of California, San Diego had an endowment of $560 million. The school was closely preceded by Columbia University on the list, while the University of Wisconsin, Madison came in ninth place.

Lab suppliers interesting in generating scientific product sales leads may also be interested in marketing their life science solutions at University of Southern California life science marketing events. The University of Southern California is one of a small group of leading institutions that develops a steady stream of new research and technology. According to the University of Southern California's website, the university has more than $600 million in annual research expenditures and has been ranked in the top 10 private universities conducting federally funded research.

University of California Irvine life science marketing events are a great way to generate lab sales leads and market life science solutions. The university is a research powerhouse committed to rigorous academics and groundbreaking research. Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. invites science researchers and lab suppliers interested in marketing and learning about life science solutions on the West Coast to attend our Irvine BioResearch Product Faire™ Event on October 8^th, 2013. Spaces are available for lab suppliers interested in generating lab sales leads in California. Last year, the Irvine BioResearch Product Faire™ Event had 119 attendees, of which 35 were purchasing agents, professors and post docs, and 3 were lab managers. These visitors came from 22 research buildings and 32 departments around campus.

The University of Michigan’s pioneering crowd-funding approach to funding research may interest lab suppliers interested in marketing their life science solutions and university lab equipment at Michigan life science marketing events. In years past, medical research has been funded through federal agencies and private funders that require scientists to submit proposals and wait long periods of time for results. The system is intended to fund the best-executed and most innovative university research, but is it always effective?
