COMMENTARY: Biotech No Cure-All for Arizona's Economy.
Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News, December, 2003
By Tom Gibbons, The Tribune, Mesa, Ariz. Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News
Dec. 29--Last December, a publication that focuses on local business ran a story about how the Battelle Memorial Institute was creating a "road map" for the state to become a biotech powerhouse. The article went on to quote the governor about how important an industry biotech was becoming for the state.
I found this article quite illuminating, even though the Tribune ran similar pieces at the time about Battelle's road map for the state biotech industry. Why?
The article was from the Denver Business Journal. The state was Colorado, and the governor quoted about the economic wonders of biotech was Bill Owens, not Janet Napolitano.
