Denver, CO, September 19, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Colorado BioScience Association (CBSA) congratulates the four Colorado headquartered companies that presented at the inaugural White Hat Life Science Investor Conference held September 17 and 18 at the Grand Hyatt in Phoenix, AZ. The announcement is made by April Giles, CBSA President and CEO, who says, “We were excited to be a partner in the 2014 White Hat Life Science Investor Conference and to help showcase three of Colorado’s promising bioscience companies during the event.” The participating Colorado companies included EndoShape, Fluonic, ValveXchange and ViroCyt.
The conference, spearheaded by the Arizona BioIndustry Association (AZBio), was presented by the National Venture Capital Association and leading life science associations of the Rocky Mountain Southwest Region, including the CBSA. This conference is showcasing 34 of the region’s top life science companies to interested investors including business development professionals from large pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and diagnostic companies.
“The Rocky Mountain and Southwest Regions have become increasingly recognized for their growth in the bioscience and heath care innovations. The White Hat Life Science Investor Conference served as another opportunity to highlight the work being done in Colorado and the surrounding region while at the same time bringing new potential partners and investors into our community,” Giles said.
