Known worldwide as a city of innovation and as the capital of Silicon Valley, San Jose is a “sister city” with Dublin. This special event will be held at Trinity College Dublin’s O’Reilly Institute, and will offer the biotech community and representatives from both the Enterprise Ireland and the Industrial Development Authority the opportunity to learn about the new, state-of-the-art Bioscience Incubator and Innovation Center recently opened in San Jose, California. The dignitaries traveling from San Jose will discuss partnership opportunities between Ireland and the city of San Jose. The delegation includes Kim Walesh, Chief Economist of San Jose, and William Nance, Vice Provost of San Jose State University. “San Jose’s innovative Bioscience Incubator and Innovation Center is the first of its kind in the Western United States. We are delighted to provide an occasion for Irish biotechnology companies to learn more about how they might benefit from this opportunity. Clearly, this event will be of special interest to those companies who are looking to establish a presence in the U.S. market at some point,” said Kate Gunning, partner with BioVisability. “This event stems from our interest in building long term relationships with Irish companies. By offering a supportive environment, we hope to attract growing international biotech companies to San Jose,” said Welesh. “We are pleased to benefit from BioVisability’s expertise in the international biotech community and appreciate their organizing this event along with Trinity College Dublin.” At last month’s BIO 2004 conference in California, BioVisability successfully coordinated tours of San Jose’s Bioscience Incubator and Innovation Center for international attendees looking to establish a presence in the United States.
