LAST REMINDER - Webinar: Life Science and Healthcare in Georgia

Join us in a webinar on the life science ecosystem the opportunities and support you can get if you locate in the State of Georgia, get tips and tricks from company representatives and chambers of commerce. 


Meet various stakeholders from Georgia's strong life science ecosystem, learn more about this growing sector and the resources the state offers to assist life science companies in getting ideas researched, tested, commercialized, produced, and then delivered. Georgia, with more than 200 Health IT companies, is considered the nation's Health IT capital. Supporting the industry is a robust infrastructure, leading R&D resources, and workforce training. The state is also home to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Cancer Society, and other major centers of health care research.

A follow-up to the delegation trip to the USA in March, this webinar is organized in collaboration with the State of Georgia, to offer you insights into the advantages of choosing Georgia for your location in the USA.

Speakers include representatives from the Europe Office of the State of Georgia, the life science director for Georgia Department of Economic Development in Atlanta, Elekta's SVP for Corporate and Government Affairs, with many years of experience in US life science, and chambers/healthcare organizations around the state. Come and meet them, and learn more about the possibilities of Georgia's vibrant life science sector.
