Connecticut Bioscience
Growth Council

Supporting New and Emerging Technologies

We develop strategies to fuel industry job growth and timely introduction of new medicines, medical devices, and innovative products, and communicate with policymakers.

The council consists of representatives from CBIA member companies with biotech, pharmaceutical, and bioscience-related interests. Members meet regularly and interact with the Connecticut General Assembly’s Life Sciences Caucus and the state’s Congressional delegation.

Organized to better address the issues affecting this growing sector, we understand the importance of strong intellectual property protection and our industry’s uniquely high R&D costs.

We represent the interests of biotech and biopharma companies—large and small—at the state Capitol and regulatory agencies, providing greater advocacy support and resources, and developing an overall plan for better positioning these companies at the state, regional, and national levels.
